My carpets are a bit "tired", would like to get a new set in.
however i cant beleive how much some places want for a set!!!!!

SO, i am looking for a place that sells raw carpet by the meter, i can take my existing ones out, cut to shape, and i have a friend that can do the edging for me.

Does anyone know where i can get decent quality carper on the roll?

(and i mean CAR carpet!!!)

I reckon by the time you've cut a few of the twenty-odd pieces for an interior re-trim you'll wish you had paid to buy a set from coverdale ! A problem you will encounter is that the existing carpet will hav echanged shape a bit over the years so using it as a template is a bit hit and miss for some parts - still good luck to you if you're going to have a go smile

Having mine done in a couple of weeks, wasn't a lot more to have them cut from a roll and hand trimmed for an exact fit, worth looking into
