Title: Nice new car mats? Ideas please
Post by: David Nock (RIP) on June 19, 2010, 11:50:05 AM
Gus wants a set of nice FB mats. He is Silver/Wine Interior so I would think plain Black mats, Plain Wine mats or Black with Red piping around.

Any ideas folks?

Thanks Captain, that second link looks just the job - and they still seem to have patterns for an FB.
I\'m away for a few days now but will give carmats4u a call when I get back.

Cheers  Dave.

David, let us know what you think of them if you buy, because I\'m in the market for a set, but at £54 I will let you buy first .............:Giggle

I\'d go for somewhere like this that will embroider a logo into the mats....

I\'d have the 1st gen logo put into them...

Well I was all set to give the expensive mat-makers a call. And for those who don\'t know me, my moto is "why spend £20 when you can spend £100, or perhaps even £200 if you really try".

Then I saw these in Tesco!......What the heck, they looked like the last set but without the holes, and that set had been OK. So I did the deal.

Sorry Super Duper Mat Company.

Every little helps...

Great bargain spotting skills David-you can be our Grinder-are you ready to tackle a cover yet though?

No, Got one.....In accordance with the Nock motto I paid about £175 in 1993 \'cos Gus sat outside then....It\'s a beauty of a cover but it\'s in it\'s bag in the loft since the garage was built. It\'s waiting for the day when Gus goes into long term store......unfortunately I might be in some sort of bag-in-a-box by then.  :eek: :eek: :eek:

NAHHHHHH.......Should have gone to Super Duper.

The Drivers mat wriggles about on the floor worse than a wriggly thing. Went to Lincoln yesterday, scuffling the mat back with my heels every few miles.
Got home, changed the engine oil before dinner, as yer do, then put an old mat back on the Drivers floor. The other 3 look good though. Just too rigid in the rubber and inadequate \'spikes\' on the back to grip properly.

So not a saving on balance.
