Morning all.
My Red Mk1 is 'still' under restoration - can't wait to get back behind the wheel.

Whilst all stripped out, now would be the ideal time to replace / refresh the carpets. The footwell carpets (especially drivers side) are pretty tired, thin and worn.

I can stick with Black - or pivot to Tan or 'Biscuit'.
Whilst I've Googled, I can't find any examples of a Red car (or any colour for that matter) of a black interior with Biscuit carpets. i.e. black seats, plastic, door trim.

It is not unfeasible that the seats and door cards could be later changed to suit or re-trimmed, but I need to decide on carpet colours sooner.

Any images / owners out there with some pictures to share?

FWIW found some - but upgraded dash to M2, and the lower half also lifted by biscuit too:

Thanks. it seems the options works well if you can (like you show) have a Tan bottom half of the dash too.

This is a keeper car.
Had for 25yrs and undergoing a full restoration (went in for new dampers and springs!) with a PH’er that is doing an amazing warts and all sort out.
Hoping to have it back soon to enjoy the summer.

Before engine upgrades in the winter
