Wondering if anyone can help me source new car mats for my 56 plate V8 Vantage.

Old mats and the interior are iron ore red but the old mats have seen better days. Would prefer to not have to order through AM as I'm not blown away by the quality of the standard mats.

Got mine from AutoStyle although I got Black so pretty safe on the colour.

They are of good quality and a perfect fit. Give them a call regarding your colour requirement. They may have dealt with Iron Ore before.

Are you referring to (over)mats or the carpets themselves?

Fair play to AutoStyle, already responded with an offer to send two samples of red out to see if one is a close/good match.

No way affiliated with them but they've impressed already

Aha. I didn't know that AM did overmats in iron ore.

I would also be interested in a set if you can find some decent alternatives.

The carpet that comes with iron ore interior is black cherry. Just replaced mine on my 07 plate with some second hand ones from astonmartinbits. Good value and in good condition. They may still have some.

I didn't know that (though thought it looked similar)

I'll keep my eyes peeled, I'm planning a fair bit of work to the car as it needs tlc, been running it 18 months as a daily driver, sun, rain or snow

I bought some overmats about 6 months ago after following a thread about that time, and very please with them

I got them from CarMats4U. the link is http://www.carmats4u.com/tailored-car-mats/aston-m... There are lots of variations and although they cant do the AM Logo they can do a typeface which is very close to the Vantage badge.

Happy shopping

That's odd.

After reading this I took a look at carmats4u as I had been looking for winter mats for 3 of my cars. So I ordered sets for DB9, SL55 and Z4, they arrived yesterday and all fit perfectly. in fact the DB9 fit a little better than the summer mats around the seat runners.

They are heavy duty rubber and come with fixings to match the cars original fixing points. For the DB9 you get two for the rear which will never see feet, I use them in the boot.
