My boot carpet has seen better days, so I would like to get a new one. Are there any companies that supply these ready cut?

Try TVR Power's bodyshop - they do precut sets for the entire car so maybe will do you just the boot?

I would like to sort mine out too. Would appreciate an update to this thread if you get anywhere. I was thinking about approaching a trimmer but if sets are available that would cut costs considerably.

I did contact Dave the trimmer, but he would need my boot carpet sent as a template and is £300 plus vat.

I will wait to hear from Power's bodyshop and update

If you are going to the trouble of removing your old set, you have a ready made template to make your own do you not? Its not like boot carpet if difficult to work with, no leather stitching etc.

I would be tempted to but some carpet myself and a tin of good quality glue, you will probably end up with something better than TVR did!

What type of carpet is recommended for boot carpet? Mine is a really horrible. Something like the cabin carpet would be good, but perhaps it's not hard wearing enough?

As above, after seeing people cut entire sets using the existing carpets as a template, surely the boot must be pretty straight forward to do.

Mine is the same as the cabin - I thought they were all like that?

No, they're just cheap grey stuff inside unless the original owner specced colour coded boot carpet, which was around £150 at the time I believe. I fancy having mine done at some stage.

Just got some carpet samples from Coverdale, approx £13 per sq mtr. Think I may have a go myself when I have a weekend free. Will post how I get on!
