You could try coverdale carpets if you wish to have ago at it yourself, got the full set cut to shape and piped for around £250 with the glue delivered.
Must admit that it was alot more time consuming than i first though, you have to disconnect the rear hood,take out the seats, center consle, side panels, battery, ecu,and maybe the fuse box, seat belts etc, and some bits of carpet will need trimming

I've recently been searching through here and found Trimtec in Tipton near Dudley in the West Midlands. When I get around to getting mine replaced (Don't have the confidence to replace mine myself to a standard i'd be happy with) i'll be giving them a ring first. 0121 557 9977

If you are happy to do it yourself, then i'd agree with mf above, the coverdale sets are meant to be good quality.

copy the ones you have, buy what you need from any carpet retailers, get the edges bound or whipped once you have cut them and save yourself some major money...

They're technologically advanced but not very sleek, and are a bit unstylish, heavy and expensive.

Sorry maybe I was getting confused with something other than carpets hehe

I asked as well - its just the same thickness/fibre density that they use in Beemers apparently. It also means that you dont need a rubber heel mat as well..
