If you don't mind me asking, how much were the carpets ? Is that a full set ?

[SILICONEKID340HP]

To much .i asked the question why the MG carpet set in wool was only £90 ,they said because there are four more pieces.

Both are made in house .You work that one out..!

Thats TVR for you

Full set =£350 delivered as Daren has stated they are expensive compared to others however i have had good reports on the quality of product though.

Don't do it !! ha, i'm doing it now and i'm thoroughly wishing i'd have spent the extra £200 and bought them so i could just glue and fit.

On the other hand, if you can pipe do you fancy giving me a hand ? haha

Hate to agree with Daz but it really does seem like they are taking the piss out of us.
Silver Shadow LWB £249, Bently Turbo R £276, Aston DB2/4 £314, Griff/Chimp £343

A PH search suggest they were less than £200 a few years ago - I'd happily buy a set and do a DIY at that price but it hardly seems worth it now.

[SILICONEKID340HP]

Same company ,look at the price difference

I bought 6.5 when I did mine over winter, that is at 1.5mtrs wide. Probably could have got away with 5.5mtrs, but to be on the safeside,plus useful to have if you ever have to replace any bits.

See my new carpets thread.

These guys at www.thetrimtechnician.com quoted £345 fitted, including new mats - and he is ex TVR as well.

He will be getting my business once my cockpit is done...

Cheers Ant, just had a look at your thread, looks awesome was the carpet hessian backed or woven nylon? and did you use felt underlay?

The carpet is like a black plastic stuff, not sure how else to describe it.
I used an underlay from Martrrim, they reccommended it for noise cancelling.

Ant, have you got a link to the thread please... i can't find it. Also you got any tips for getting them piped / bound, what's easier/cheaper/looks better.

Cheers,

I recently skipped a roll of the hood covering. It came with my old Griff as the previous owner had planned to retrim the lid but didn't get round to it. Sorry mate.

[SILICONEKID340HP]
