Carpets HELP !

[carphotographer]

Well I've waited long enough - Caterham hasn't had any carpets in stock for 9 months now

Where can I get carpets for my 7 and what price

[framerateuk]

Have you tried calling them instead of checking the online store? I'd be surprised if they didn't have any at all!

One of the first things I didn was to take the footwell carpets out. Get them wet in the rain and they take ages to dry. Although I would recommend the carpet for the transmission tunnel sides and the back bulkhead, they seem to dry okay.

It might be worth contacing Redline Components they keep some Caterham spares.

That's a good suggestion.

Yes try Redline or James Whiting but otherwise, for the footwells, what about the rubber floor mats instead?

Call Oxted trimming - they supply Caterham and will sell direct to order - cheaper too!

I seriously would suggest you reconsider; my first Seven had carpets and whilst they offered a veneer of 'up market ' they were a nightmare. Once wet they would stay wet for weeks and would smell like old mushrooms but worse still the glue fails and the carpet on the transmission tunnel would come unfixed and flop over my feet.My current car has rubber mats in footwell and some old offcut in the boot.Much better. If it gets wet I can dry it out in seconds.

Thanks guys.
You're right they have carpet in stock, though on the website they appear to be out of stock.
I've ordered some carpet, but not for the footwell. A friend took his out and drilled holes to let the water out ( or was it to reduce weight ;-) )
Yes considered getting some automotive carpet and cutting it to fit, it's taken 8 months to get around to order carpet, it would probably take me another 8 months to get around to cutting the carpet.
Caterham charged less then a £100 for the carpet .

But a roll of carpet that will do the whole car will cost you £15
