Well..... they claim to have the entire carpet patterns for a Chimp. As such, all sets are made to order with prices dependent on carpet choice (£180 to £235 +P&P)... all sets are edged in matching material etc

They have promised to post me carpet samples today... so fingers crossed.

This gets better.... glad to hear others have tried this place...

I hope to get the colour samples today.. they muttered about a 3 week (ish) delivery time.

I may even ask if they can do foot mats to match and order a spare bit... in case a mini repair is ever needed

Anyone know if they include sections for the doors?

Hi there,

Well my set has arrived and looks ok. A bit of a jigsaw puzzle and looks like no door carpet peices were included (I called and they are posting me some more carpet for the job)

Trial fitted as have already ripped out the carpet.

Ease.... well its not easy as you need to remove all the trim people always avoid touching (ie seats out, door trim out, hood loosened, seat belts off, centre console off etc etc) but I am doing it while sorting out a few other odds and sods without risking damaging the carpet etc.

Wish me luck over the weekend!!!!

urmmmm... they will make anything if you send them a template (paper or original carpet).. depends if you are after an exact colour/type match as they have a limited colour range.

If you just need a section of carpet you can always try Woolies who have a better range (get your sawing kit out to do the edging tho!!)

Hi

Yup it includes all parcel shelf and around the seatbelt mounts etc.... in fact they have even drawn on the speaker and air vent holes on the back of the carpet...... theyhave even chalked on the air vent hols in the footwell sections.

I have to dash now to look at some German car for the misses... no comments needed!!

I will give the full tale tomorrow.

In short.... great company, good carpets (but go for the better ones they supply), and fitting delayed by bad weather and no garage.. but only the passenger foot panel now left to fit! )

Wwesty.... sound deadening????????? Give me a moment to recover... BUY BIGGER SPEAKERS AND SHOUT!

Yeah all done.... want to re-fit the parcel shelf sections as i went spray glue crazy

Ohhh... if anyone wants a differnet colour edging you must tell them as they presume a colour match!

I changed the colour from a rather lovely magnolia carpets set to a moss green.. coz I am old and it doesnt show the dirt.

Soz wwesty.... I had a panic.... the earth being flat, you deadening the sound. It all undermined my reasons for living (altho a flat earth may be handy)
