Chimaera carpets

[123nobster]

Hi all
Has anyone used or have any experience of Lakewell.com for carpets.
Prices seem reasonable and I'm struggling to find a supplier who does
Magnolia.

got mine from them..... good qualy and would by again. keep in mind floormats in magnolia are not usable

Reasonable After coming from the classic car world I noticed how they can use the word TVR to inflate the prices ,four more pieces of carpet next to a MG but two and half times more expensive !

Both made in house from the same material.

I went to Bielawski's (Sheffield Trimming Company)and asked them for a price, they wont do TVR's as it is too much pain, he did offer to cut the carpets and show me how to fit but didnt offer a price. I might take him up on it

Mick maybe we could get both ours done at the same time as Im in Whitwell.

I did ask one of the well known companies who supply TVR carpets and the first answer was "there is more work to " and when I asked two and a half times more he answered "well it`s a TVR"

meaning we have more money to spend !

I'm up for that, looking do it in the winter

Got mine from Central TVR via eBay last year for £210 and fitted them myself. Carpets are not that cheap anymore but they might be worth a call?
Add about £50 for glue/Stanley blades/etc.

Excellent, I was thinking along the same lines, but was also going to ask the same question as Daz above about the fitting of the braid. Can it be done with a sewing machine? Have you got a few pics you could upload?
