I am trying to get some fitted carpet mats made for my Vauxhall Victor, but having repeatedly tried a few local trimmers and the impression I get is that they are far to busy to want a small job like this.

I then started to look for a company on the net that could make them for me, classic-car-carpets.co.uk listed a full carpet set and I have been trying to call them for the last couple of weeks and all i get is an answerphone.
Does anybody have any experience of this company or know anywhere i can get them made. I have tried another company in Wigan who claimed to have all the pattens but after speaking to them they wanted me to make my own templates and would not even do this for me even if I took the car to them.

I don't want to make my own templates I want to pay a professional to make mats that fit and look good does anybody have any suggestions, i am based in Manchester.

I guess the company in Wigan is Coverdale. I have their carpets in my Riley, very good they are too. Why no do a deal with them - you supply the templates, they supply you with a set of carpets? Making the templates should be an easy enough job and you'll be quids in.

Yes that's the company, it just seemed odd to me they will not make templates even if I take the car down.

I'm sure somebody who does this for a living will make a better template than me.

It's really easy, I used newspaper taped together for a particular model of Riley. They must have sold dozens of carpet sets since cut from those same patterns.
