Maybe this should be under the styling group but...
I am trying to get hold of a replacement carpet for my convertible (preferably dark grey). Does anyone know of any companies making them?

Failing that I will have to have a go myself but I'mm not too sure how to go about stretching it to form the correct shape. I suspect I would have to do it in sections, then I don't know how to get them together to look good instead of patchy!

good luck getting one from the US, their cars are LHD and the carpets are different.

I think you can still buy them from dealers for about Ԛ£350. Failing that, just look around on then net for breakers and i'm sure you will find one. How good it is is another story. :lol:
