Doish13 Posted 23November, 2014 Report Share Posted 23November, 2014 Hi all quick question, my SC deserves carpets that are fresh after all these years and have a question: did our cars come out with floors carpeted and mats on top or, as is the case for me, the mats "are" the carpet and bare metal below? Never reslly looked at this on anyone of the number of other air cooled I've been in. While there if anyone has a suggestion for carlet suppliers / fitters or Mat sales can you let me know.

Dreamr Posted 23November, 2014 Report Share Posted 23November, 2014 Mine has mats as carpets and surrounding carpet laid on the edges and through the centre tunnel. I'm not sure if that's how it came originally as it is 33 years old and I've only had it for 6 months ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveF Posted 23November, 2014 Report Share Posted 23November, 2014 The mats are the carpet as well in mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 23November, 2014 Report Share Posted 23November, 2014 I just looked into a full carpet set today from Sierra Madre, Pelican Parts, Rennspd etc. Theyre all around the same price $285US plus delivery. Think Rennspd were the cheapest for an RS lightweight kit. Theyre postage on othe parts I bought was LOADS cheaper than PP and SM. Probably be lots cheaper than a trimmer doing it from scratch, yet I will be fitting it myself eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smule Posted 23November, 2014 Report Share Posted 23November, 2014 If going for a kit makes sure it's cut for a RHD and not just a LHD mat that's been turned over and cut to fit a RHD as many kits are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poli84 Posted 24November, 2014 Report Share Posted 24November, 2014 Has anyone ordered from Southbound Trimmers in the UK? They promote that they use factory templates, etc and from my research, they seem to best replicate the OEM carpet set, particularly around the pedal box and the oddly positioned left hand footrest in my 1990 C4 manual.

Stew F Posted 25November, 2014 Report Share Posted 25November, 2014 My father in law bought a carpet set from some place in the UK for his Austin Healey recently. They do lots of different marques. Was heaps cheaper than local or the US and the quality and fit is very good. He got on to them through their ad in a UK classic car magazine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew F Posted 25November, 2014 Report Share Posted 25November, 2014 Damn, pressed the wrong button. I'll see if I can find out who they are and a contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew F Posted 25November, 2014 Report Share Posted 25November, 2014 I just rang him. They only do British cars. He also got a set for his Jensen from the same mob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
