carpets

Any one know of a manufacturer of wedge carpets please?

I got mine from Martrim. Wedge carpet comes on a roll, old chap. You'll also need a stanley knife, a charcoal filter respirator and a LOT of PU contact adhesive.

£20 a roll metre for the original factory carpet. I used 7 metres plus underlay.

Kind of hoped I could get ready made ones with piping

I got some front mats from Autostyle - they fit perfectly and have piping/logo etc.

You would need a specialist trimmer to do the whole car though.

It's not too bad a job to fit the carpets yourself. The only ones that need edging are the two floor matts and rear shelf carpet, you could just cut these to size and have them edged. I made paper templates, which made the job a little easier. Cheers Steve.

I got my carpet from Martrim - you will need 7 metres, plus glue and I used felt underlay which I also got them. You can get away from edging if you fold the cut side over and make a seam. I've seen some carpets that look naff with all the piping - Griffs & Chimps are good example (Edging overkill)

I'm about to do the job again as I'm changing the colour of the interior so will take some pics if required...the other thing to remember when cutting out the sections is to ensure the grain/pile of the carpet is going in the right direction.
