Mk2 carpet

Post by Aardent »

Hi I'm replacing my carpet, problem is it's a Storm with navy blue carpet and I am struggling to find someone who can make a moulded set . Newton can but don't have/ cant source the right colour. Moulded carpet not necessarily essential but would really like to replicate the rubber footwell pads onto the carpet too. Any ideas ?

Are they able to send you a sample so you can compare?

Finding a 30 year old carpet in a rare colour thats moulded to a specific car is quite a task

Sample colours are way off. Apparently it's the type of carpet used for moulding. May find a correct carpet pattern get it sized and cut then send off to newton for the rubber pressings which they may be able to do..will keep the forum posted

From the USA. State clearly not to paste on the floor fixings on the left hand side.

Good luck matching colour.

Thanks whiteshark. I have been I touch with them but they are quote clearly mk 1 patern. Whilst theu can do rubber pad mirrrored on rhd they were very cagey about whether they pattern mk2 sent me an image and told me to verify. The age range is misleading as they state 75 to 89 which clearly into mk2 territory but only mk1 pattern. Hmm.will keep hunting. Dgeorgj if you come across anything let me know.
