Just a quick question while i'm doing some pondering this crappy afternoon.

Are 2 door and 4 door floor carpets the same?

Cheers
Dave

No I dont think so tbh - due to the cabin is a bit longer and also that you have another 2 doors on the car

Cabin length is EXACTLY the same size on 2 doors, 4 doors, tourings, whatever!

This is what i have always believed, my only thought is there might be a difference due to the rear doors on the 4 door car.

Main part of the carpet is identical,the second part that sits verticaly and tucks under the rear seat varies between model types.This accomodates the different seat cushion shape between 2/4/touring types.

Makes sense, should be easy enough to get hold of a decent rear section though.

Cheers folks :D

Carpet cleaner??? If you're going to do a job, do it properly!
Industrial pressure washer is the weapon of choice!

does the later E30 floor carpet comes with insulation fitted together? Mine is a 1984 2 door and the floor carpet doesn't come with any insulation pads.
