Carpet interchangability??

[Jimmy1596]

Hi , would the carpet from a four door fit a two door? would a four door carpet reach around the back seat at the sides also would it be different near the door pillars? cheers

sorry to thread hijack, but also, would a touring carpet fit a 4 door / 2 door?

As far as I know they will fit all models but there are different types of carpets varying between models, someone else will know for certain though.

iv always thought that 2/4 door are the same but convertables are different but someone a short while back insisted to me that they are different on all the types

All E30 carpets are a two-piece component. The main part extends from the bulkhead to the rear passenger footwells, and is identical across all models. Don't be conned by shady traders; there's no such thing as a "sport" carpet. The rear section sits vertically and tucks under the rear seat, and varies between model types. This accommodates the different seat cushion shapes across the model range.

Two materials were used for E30 carpets. M20-engine models, Cabriolets and Tourings have a velour-type material, which can be dyed if needed. The lower 4-cylinder models have a nylon hard-wearing carpet which cannot be dyed.
