My car did not come with carpet mats so Ive just been looking into buying some suitable ones for it.The official Aston ones are nearly £300 per set which to me seems an horrendous ammount for 2 bits of carpet.Does anyone have any recommendations for cheaper alternatives or will I be best off biting the bullet and getting the offical Aston items??

It does seem as though the existing factory fitted carpets will come out quite easily however if the carpet mats are £300 then I wonder what the cost of replacing the factory fitted items would be!?

Thanks for that.I ordered the Autostyle mats today-black with silver edging(I have silver stitching in my car)I didnt bother with the heel pad.£67 all in.

The mats finally arrived today after 3 chase up phone calls...

To be honest Im a bit disappointed with them.They dont fit particually well(they are too short to cover the carpet underneath so look a bit odd unless the seats are moved forward a bit),and qualitywise are on a par with mats I pay £20 per set of 4 for my used car business.

When I went to Stratstone AM Wilmslow the other day they are doing mats('Stratstone' ones not genuine AM) for £75 per set so I may buy a set of these as well.
