100+ Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 The waiting to get round to it was far more painful than the job itself, in the end.The black brackets are for the xjs seats, before anyone asks...Newton supplied the carpets, which went in just fine, and i applied some closed cell foam rubber type stuff I bought at an autojumble to try and keep the noise in the cabin down a bit, without resorting to the horsehair felt type stuff which moults everywhere and soaks up water when the roof leaks.Overall, quite chuffed. A few more bits and bobs to do, but getting there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrab00y Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 that looks very nice, if you dont mind me asking how much did the carpet cost you, my vit could really do with some new carpet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zendervision Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Ah, you lucky man, that looks great. My new car came with threadbare original carpet in the back and some wet mush in the front which I believe may once have been carpet. I replaced it using some offcut house carpet, but because it's not moulded, it looks awful. Just can't justify the cost of proper carpet yet...

100+ Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 Aye, it wasn't cheap. Somewhere in the region of £130 I seem to remember, but it was a couple of years ago that I ordered it. I bought direct from Newton Commercial (the manufacturers) thinking that would be the cheapest, but have since found out that triumph parts suppliers often undercut their prices a little bit. So, shop around! Thanks for the kind comments, Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve AKA vitessesteve Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I got a set of Tan carpets from Chic Doig a while back for considerably less than buying direct from Newton.I think the colours other than black are made up in batches and that Newton hold little stock. Traders stock may have been supplied at a pre increase prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.in_Lux Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I got some nice boring black moulded carpets for 180€ That I still have to fit. They look rather good quality.Think they came from Fitchetts originally.Couldn't find any Burberry ones :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herald948 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Do these moulded sets come with the edge binding as shown on the gearbox tunnel cover, or was that added by you? My personal preference would be to NOT have that binding (which I don't recall being as original), but that's me! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.in_Lux Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Mine came with the binding, I don't know if this is normal practice on the moulded sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100+ Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 No, it came with that binding, I didn't add it. It is the only piece of binding anywhere on the whole carpet set however, so at least you wouldn't have to remove much to get the look you want;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
