Has anyone here fitted new carpets for the older car?

[Orangecurry]

Mine are a bit faded, being red to start with, so I was thinking of getting a new set.

Who does them?

I have found Lakewell - anyone have any experience of the finished product?

Or any other recommendations?

Thanks!

Appbiz in the US and Southbound here in the UK have a great reputation.

Thanks yes I know of Southbound... their website is reassuringly 1980s

I think it says 767 GBP plus VAT for a 964/993 carpet set. And they don't list the door-bin section if you have the hi-fi option.

Lakewell seems to be 580 EUR plus VAT for black or 696 EUR plus VAT for any OE colour.

Seems an easy choice - I can spend the difference on drugs and hookers. Or am I not allowed to say that anymore?

Put like that I would forget the carpets and enjoy yourself

I had my 964 carpets done by Southbound....

Positives = they really know their way around the older 964 & 993s.
Negatives = long waitlist & work time (prioritising other cars over yours if it isn't a turbo or RS) , pretty arrogant and finishing touches wasn't as great as i would have expected (my opinion).

Would I go back? probably not.

I'm thinking of doing the same this year, and was looking at Lakewell too.
I contacted them for samples and they just sent them no problem. Worth noting that they did advise that OE black carpet in the 993 isn't plain black (70E) - but is the 'Black with Grey flecks (5FV), which is an additional €116
I wasn't sure about this at first, so glad I got the samples - it looks like 5FV is the one to go for....

...looks like someone has spilled the 'Charlie' to me....
