I need a new set of mats for my 2008 Vantage roadster

My car is a LHD and I couldn't find anything in ebay UK

So, I tried Google and found this:

https://italiancarpet.com/products/aston-martin-v8...

No idea how good this company is but I have few options so I ordered them. I went for the velevet simply because I am curious how would that actually feel.

I wonder if anyone heard of them

Regards

Clever - because if you look at their product list there's nothing between Alpine and Audi!

No Jaguar either.

I made a quick check on the italian tax government website. The VAT registration number is existing, the company is up and running from 13/05/2021 and the name matches. So from this perspective all good.

Grab them whilst you can. Once AM see them they will. Get the manufacturer to stop using AM branding

They look really nice, where did the Aston logo come from?

I received them but I am not at home yet so I cannot say anything on the quality.
If everything goes as expected, Saturday I should be at home.
These the pics that the person who picked them up sent me:





Ps only thing is that I thought I ordered the only logo mats and I got the logo and writing ones.
I hope they will not be too much in the car.

These look really nice and obviously fit an LHD vehicle like mine

Got them today

Because I live in Saudi Arabia and I am using an Aramex address in Milan. It took well over 10 days to sort out and dispatch and over 60 USD in fees and taxes which is almost as expensive as the mats themselves.

The first thing that annoyed me is the material. I ordered velvet for 65 EUR and got normal carpet which is 40 EUR. 25 EUR rip-off already. Unlike eBay I can't write a negative review but I will make sure I send them a link to this topic.


However, the cut and finish is great. The carpet is OK almost exactly the same texture and thickness as the ones in my Audi TT. Not special though but I will accept that.

The fit is hmmmm. Look at the pictures and judge for yourself. They seem a bit narrower than they should.

These are the old ones retrimmed in fake quilted leather which looked ok at first but not now

I put on mine as well.
Honestly I cannot assess the difference between velvet and moquette but they are well cut and properly finished.
I second the fact that they are slightly narrower than the original one (you can see in the pic their size, and the original ones below).
For 60 eur shipped, I cannot complain.
Ho do you remove the old ones?

I ordered a set for my RHD Vanquish on the 08th May, the order is still at processing as of 21st May so i have asked for an anticipated delivery date.
Let's see how long they take......

Not bad. Blue seems spot on from that picture.

Like a lot of things... it should have been 1 or 2 inches longer whistle

I sent the pics to the guy asking him if he is interested me giving him detailed "delta" measures.
Let's see.
It's the pity since the quality is good, the logo and writing is perfect and overall the price is supergood (at least with EU).
