Would look a lot nicer in a coupe with black leather?

Was offered a mint black carpet recently

I have dyed my grey carpet to go with my black leather seats from an e36 Coupe, it came out really nice.
Not in the car yet as sorting a water leak from the dash first.

Not sure what reg car they came from, I will post a pick once I work out how to use photobucket. The rears need some brackets made up as the they folded down in the original car, fronts needed the mountings moved as well.
