OK, I'm trying to make the car as presentable as possible for MITP. I had originally spoken to Newton Commercial regarding getting a special carpet set made up (the companion bins have been removed in the back so a standard set won't work) but cash is a bit tight with a few other things happening this month (Audi is in getting new brakes all round today!!)

Dare I say it, is it really worth putting one in there if it isnt what you want and is just for a short time |

I've got a 'high quality' carpet set you can have. It wasn't so high quality, so came back out in favour of an original set. Will be putting it up for sale when I get round to it, but happy for you to borrow it until you get a proper one. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Nic, normally i'd agree but the floor is now covered in cables running to the boot and i'd quite like to hide the state of the patchwork floor!

Your best bet timewise might be to make a cardboard template and drive up to your local upholsterer to have them cut it for you off the roll. Trim the edges with some rubber trim strip and it looks a million pounds.

Trim the edges with some rubber trim strip and it looks a million pounds. Alternatively you could use a piece of thin rubber-foam sheet (3 mm?) that you cut to size using your template and spray glue black speaker cloth on top which you fold/glue nicely over the edges. This is basically what they do to make Porsche RS lightweigth carpet sets fit nicely over lumps, bumps and electric wiring. Good luck! I like the second idea. Could be a winner |
