Carpet Mat Clips

[Tempy]

I know there was an old thread ages ago on this, but I cant find it.

I've been meaning to pick up some replacement carpet clips as my Ro came with none. I've heard the plastic ones snap easy, so was looking at Metal ones. I remember a forum member getting some metal ones machined for him based on the plastic design.

Will any of the following GTO clips fit?:

Did anyone end up getting some of these?

I ordered some of the polished ones, they fit and look ok. It took about 10 days for delivery from the states, quality isn't bad either

I'm glad this thread has come up again i need some clips for my mats... Last time i searched ebay for these is when i came up with the idea for the center console plaques...

Glad you spotted it Sean, was going to e-mail you a link to the post on Monday as you mentioned them!

Thanks for the response. I ordered some yesterday and they've been shipped. Once I've got them fitted, I'll post what I think of them.

I'm sure you don't need instructions on fitting odd shaped things into tight holes

As for the rest, I'll see what I can do

[rocklandboy]

Got my set of 4 in the post today, look brill instead of the dodgy plastic ST 1's

[Tempy]

That's funny, I was going to post in here today to see if anyone had got theirs yet. You read my mind. Mine still haven't turned up

Glad they are ok.

Mine came from "browncadillac" (ebay user name)... Yours could be held up in customs? I've had stuff thats taken ages to get through there in the past...

[Tempy]

Ordered mine from the same place. Must be customs or the blooming postal strike. Hopefully they will turn up in the next day or so.

[Tempy]

Picking mine up from the post office this morning (I hope). Looks like I got stung by customs. Twelve pounds and bloody fifty four pence. That's half the cost of the clips. Importers beware! Cheeky gits.

[rocklandboy]

Blimmy, mine came straight through with no hassle, customs is a little world of its own, its corrupt...

[Tempy]

£4 VAT, fair enough. £8 + for Royal Mail handling fee! For what? lol the cheek of it.

They are very nice quality clips though. Worth the purchase.

[atco2]

Isn't this a lot of cash for a clip???

Even the cheepest is £17 without paying the government as well

Just fitted them. They are very nicely made. Worked out about £20 for a set of 4. Once they are locked in, they stay in very well. Just a shame I got stung by customs. Happy to post pics if people are interested.
