Nilfisken Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Hi,I think I will have to get a new set of black moulded carpets for my 1500 since the old non moulded ones are both worn and never fitted very well. What producer/supplier have you guys experience from? I have heard a lot of good about the Newton Commercial but not much else. I'm not looking for something 100% original, nice thick carpets with good fit is more important than the exact stock reproduction approach.Also, what do you suggest to use to glue it down? I would prefer something that's not too permanent since I like the idea of having a look under the carpets a few times a year to make sure any nasty rust have started to chew away at the floors and also good to easily take the carpets out if the interior gets wet, it is a British hood after all ;)Cheers!

CHRIS211083 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Depends on what your after. The thick wool pile type are nice sound absorbant but will rot if they get wet alot. The cheaper ones wont. Personnally i would say go to your local trimmer and feel before you buy.Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 As Newton Commercial are teh only manufacturer of moulded carpets, it is Hobsons choice, but they do not supply, so you do have a choice of where you purchase it from.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_w83 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I work very close to Newton Commercial and have popped in to have a look at their Spitfire stuff all looked very good quality and the owners were spot on. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nilfisken Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 Thanks! One manufacturer makes life easier sometimes :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 :)I wouldn't glue them down at all, either. Fitting the studs will hold them properly, no bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
