Carpet search advice

Post by JA51ON W »

Hello, I’m trying to find a good quality carpet set for my 69 2.0e the best I’ve come up with so far is the salt and pepper at Heritage for £1050 but the sample they sent me was thinner than I expected. Anybody know of another choice please? Also I need boot space carpet but see either 3 or 4 piece sets, which is correct? Many thanks, Jason.

Carbone's carpet sets are excellent. Not cheap anymore, though...

I’ve used Lakewell and Cabrio.de both supply good sets.

If you want to keep it in the UK you could contact Simon Farrell - pf911_simon on instagram

I bought mine from Southbound and it is very good. My restorer said it was good to fit too.

Your car would originally have come with 4 Perlon pieces in the front compartment.

The 4th piece that's often missing/removed is the narrow vertical section that goes across the front below the slam/latch panel.

I ordered the boot carpet from partworks in Germany to end with, 4 piece with sawn in pocket, very happy with the quality, would highly recommend. Next to sort the main carpet, probably start with a sample from southbound. Jason.

Simon Farrell has sent me a sample and it looks as I was hoping so I’m going to order from him, one month wait so will post back when it arrives, Jason.
