As some of you saw I recently bought Shake’s carpet but he asked for it back for his new project

Back to the matter in hand I sourced another carpet from Chris-W and he posted it to me don’t even ask how you post a carpet but a picture speaks a thousand words


I used to have a baige carpet which just didn’t suit the rest of the interior




So here is the carpet installed and just been steam cleaned I didn’t cut the carpet around the heater box as it wasn’t need just wrestled it a bit, the only bit I had to cut was the ring section that goes around the steering column so im well pleased




After a good steam clean


Ow and don’t let on I nicked the hover

what, a non chrome carpet? are you ok neil?!

was it a bastard to get it under the heater box and brake bar?

Great job, looks alot better

and another thing, what on earth are you letting a woman do something under the bonnet? is she changing the air filter for a shinier item?!

Quick, more booze!

ill have you know that just because i have a womb that does not mean i dont know anything about engines.

and actually i wasnt drunk cliffy!!! someone might have sacrificed a few xmas presents unless they redeem themselves quickly . . .

Carpet looks mint.

carpet looks much better, its the nicer type too, the softer pile one,

im supprised you can fit a carpet in that package

that reminds me i need a new one, my crap rough pile one is stained to death and i hate the look of them

chris dont suppose you have any more of them "softer pile" ones, might be after xmas before i buy one tho (skint)

stop ur bitching and the bottle down

If u dont want ur prez's keep it up

I would assume to stop you sullying your good ladies name, she has joined up under the name droptopsrock neil in order to defend herself?

It would appear mate, that nowhere is sacred anymore!

Actaully, best be nice, seeing as you like to come down my way during the summer!

rob i think ur right

Well got most of he interior back in now, the front seats go back in tomorrow

Here is how she is looking now

you don't need to cut the carpet to fit/remove it into a car without aircon. Lazy people attack carpets with knifes here. But the steering column cut is ok!

It was a fight I must be honest, Im so glad i dint cut it though, I thought if it gets pulled whilst putting it in the cut would tear throug the hole carpet

comming along nicely, much better than that beige wrongness

i like the hand brake gator, where did you get it?

Cheers dude the biage looked so dated, The gaitor was an ebay jobby years back

What car cd/cassette system have you got? Looks nice

No worries, design goes well the the car interior

I Can see what ur saying

all done







Im so pleased its mad ethe car look so much better and now it all ties in

i think it looks newer for having the darker carpet

I think it's a shame you've changed it. The old carpet matched your clocks.


Only joking neil. That looks 110% better and youre right, it's updated it too.

needs a hoover again and ive ordered new matts aswell

Definitely looks better, but i would've been tempted to dye it black if i was doing it...pics make it look like the normal grey carpet.
