[glovebox]

New carpet set arrived today yippee !!!
Let's see if the glue sticks in this weather ?
Let u know how it fits if anyone is interested?

Regards Mark

[LMR]

Definitely interested. As much detail as possible please.

[Dean.s]

I'm interested too. Where from, how much, quality and how does it fit.

Maybe if a few are interested we could negotiate with the seller for a discount on product and or shipping if it's from overseas?

Top tip - warm it up in a tumble dryer a bit to get it to shape
If you don't have a tumble dryer go hi jack a friends one while he's out for the day like I did

[Mr Pharmacist]

Definitely interested in how it fits and where you got it from. My car is completely carpet less but have been toying with reinstating them

[23e Heure]

Is it from these guys?

Either way, could you post some photos close up of the material, pretty please?

I am also interested. I bought a set from 914 Rubber and they are just crap quality. I haven't even tried them in the car yet! Looking for a decent black set in original German loop type carpet.

Do you leave the glue in the tin or just pour it directly in the tumble dryer ?? [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]
I think I use my friends either way.
Either really loud or really messy [FACE SCREAMING IN FEAR]

Thanks for the tip though I will give it a go with the carpet though.
The kit was from Lakewell in Belgium.
I bought a kit about 5 years ago from 914rubber. I think it's true what they say ... you get what you pay for!! Not fitted this yet but it just looks so much higher in standard. Finishing edges and carpet much better quality. Will be fitting it over the weekend so will report back. And yes I will post some close ups tomorrow.
I check tomorrow but it was more or less 450 Euro . That includes ten piece carpet set plus front and rear trunk and headliner. Oh and I think another 50 euros for a bit extra to recover my dogbone foot rest.

Regards Mark.

i found you could fit the carpet and when it cooled down it would hold shape, just be careful not to get it too hot or any rubber backing it might have can come off
I guess you could do the same with a heat gun maybe, but I think that might be too intense heat.. hair dryer might work, but I don't have one (or any hair )

Once you've got your carpets in place a set of these mats from Hamilton Group would be nice.
I had these made in Russet green with the 914 logo in silver and silver piping. They took about six weeks and are great quality.

Looks good Mark.
Enjoying the glue fumes!?

Do they offer a firewall carpet? I'm probably removing my backpad.

[LMR]

That looks great

Not sure they offer it as standard? Not seen it on there website. But they do sell extra carpet by the square meter. As I bought an extra bit for the dog bone foot rest. Think it was 50€ per metre square .


Definitely lost a few brain cells today. It's still Friday.....right ???? [FACE WITH STUCK-OUT TONGUE AND WINKING EYE][FACE WITH STUCK-OUT TONGUE AND WINKING EYE]
