Carpets !

[CaymANTH]

Bought a 63 plate GT Speed recently and loving it. One problem though, the first owner spec'd it with cream carpets which are ridiculously impractical and quite grubby after only 12k miles. I can check this for myself when I get the chance to get over to a dealership but in the meantime, does anyone have any idea how much a set of new carpets (not mats) would be (I'll be getting Imperial Blue this time). If the costs are silly, I might just get new front carpets as they seem to come in four pieces rather than one piece........👍🏻

I have no idea what the cost of new carpets from Bentley would be, perhaps worth asking your local dealer to price that for you.

I've had cars trimmed (and therefore carpets replaced) before. As a quick estimate I would say £1-2K worst case. Although would imagine closer to £1k.

I think the idea, from the original post, is to replace the whole carpet set - I'm pretty sure it's partially a moulded carpet, unlike older Bentley and some other cars where it is all sewn together and made up from individual bits. So you would have to buy this from Bentley and it wouldn't be possible to fabricate all of it in the traditional way. Probably quite a lot of labour because it would mean stripping out all the seats and centre console and probably some other things too.

The carpets on the Flying Spares site are just the footwell sections so no good, unless a two tone finish is desired.

So, cost wise, probably quite a lot to be honest. Ask dealer for a price on full carpet set, all parts. And then add the labour for stripping the interior out, on top.
