Yeah I figured I'd probably need a bit more.

Think this has definitely been added to my to do list. Grey carpets suck.

I've bought 5 litres so i've got plenty to play with!!

Carpet is already out so it'll be easy i hope!!!

Gonna do all the boot trim panels/carpet and the bottoms of the rear seats which is also grey!

Luckily i have spares from a touring i'm breaking so if it all goes tits up and can try again!!

If it goes ok, i might even do all the spares in black and sell it on as a set winkeye
