Im looking for some help here.
My next job is renewing my carpets and have the seats retrimmed.
Can't make my mind up weather to change the colour of the carpets at the same time.
Thinking of changing the colour to crimson the same as the outside but it maybe to much.
The current carpet colour is ok but a bit light and does show the dirt.
Anyone with this colour scheme or would some one be so kind to photo shop it.
Thanks for your opinions.

Mine is burgundy red with red carpets and same colour leather as shown in pic... drop the shade of the carpets from pink to a deeper red and you might find it works, well it does for me.

Just had a price back from a guy on ebay who sells hoods aswell.
Complete carpet set and a new hood with the fabric for the hard roof bit.
£650 that seems a good price to me.
That's if i want to do the refit myself.
Just got to find a retrimmer now in my area for the seats.

when you fit new carpets, as im about to do in mine soon. how do you fit them around the door trim? is it a case of removing the rivets and fitting over the carpet?

and does anyone know if coverdales, have the hatch part for the storage bits behind the seats? i asked and they didnt know yikes

Ive just asked the same question to this seller on ebay and i await a reply http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&am...
He says he has the exact templates for the car so you would of thought you would get exactly the same as you've got at the mo.
As for fitting i thought i may aswell replace the door seal while im at it so you would have to rivit them back on.

Got a vague response from ebay shop saying he has a set of carpets from a doner car as templates and he knows that they fit just not where.
So unsure as to what im buying.
Decided to let KRJ Retrimmers do all the work in one go Carpets/Roof/Seats
