Are wool catpets worth paying the extra money for over polpropolene £100?

When I was looking earlier in the year, it wasn't that much more to go to a trimmer who would make the carpets and fit them for you.

Good luck.

You might want to consider a more modern carpet material - the trouble with wool IMHO is that it ain't great around the tight curves in the area behind the seats. Look closely (in some cars) and you can see the backing through the pile on the edges.

I went for a carpet similar to that used by BMW/Jaguar etc that lends itself to being 'moulded' around corners. Much tighter pile. Trim the edges in proper leather (rather than vinyl) and it looks great. (Pics on my profile notes)

Only problem is your colour choice is a bit limited....

Have you gone for contrasting piping? Let us know how you get on with the fitting. Sounds a good price.

Cheers - really chuffed with it. Only problem is that Winter is nearly here....
No fun in Cumbria on dark frosty mornings, especially with 888's rolleyes
