Honda have rather helpfully stopped manufacturing car mats for the Insight.

Has anybody found antwhere that can do good quality car mats from a pattern please?

Nope, they are for the 5 seat Insight, they were bloody rude on the phone too, said implied I was talking rubbish when I told them the 2000-2006 Insight was just a two seater.

They can offer a bespoke servive but I'd rather send my money to someone else.

I was going to say - that appears to have rear footwell mats. hehe

This on the other hand, looks like it might be right? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Insight-2000-2006-Tailored...

Does it? The picture looks like two foot wells and a boot carpet to me.

Again, the diagram slows rear footwell mats.

Try a friend of mine, Loz Brown - his business is refurbing/bespoke car interiors, coming from decades of experience in bespoke luxury leather furniture.

The guy is a perfectionist, so if you want to replicate something that is no longer manufactured if he'll do it and do it well.

Message him via http://www.facebook.com/lozinator

Sorry for the FB link but his business mainly comes from word of mouth/referrals so he doesn't need to advertise.

He's a good friend of mine, say Donny sent you.

Do you already have mats? If so just buy some carpet, cut to shape and if you aren't handy with a sewing machine there are loads of places that'll trim the edges.

If you don't already have mats just make a template out of paper and cut round that instead.
