Thanks everyone for the quick input! The advice is very useful. Thanks for sharing your pics Nick, you did a good job. It looks tidy. I think, however, I have decided to bite the bullet and get a set of Newtons carpets. They do look like the best option and hopefully should last a long time in top condition. The installation sounds like it should be easy also. Interesting idea Daver Clasper, velcro sounds like a good solution in terms of ease of removal. It also saves having to drill holes for the pop buttons. Has anyone tried velcro before? Possibly somthing like these would do: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genu.....kHWLJuWtCiUhcWJK9jig http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1m-2.....LVPXk38dCmTgMtrT-vHg Tom

Hello All! I have come to the point of my project where I am beginning to rebuild things in my 1969 Herald 13/60 Convertible, and one important part I need to sort out soon is the carpet. The old ones (which I beleive are aftermarket, although not sure) were in a rotten and torn state, and so I have been looking online for a new set, including boot mat. I want a black carpet with black edging that is functional, hardwearing and of course aesthetically pleasing. I am not wanting to complete a concours restoration at all, as I am planning to daily drive it in the future as an ongoing project of sorts. I am on a bit of a budget, but would be prepared to splash out if that is the best option. There seem to be a lot of different options from different sellers. These include moulded vs stitched, cut pile/deep pile/hessian backed/auto velor and underlay. I also would be interested there are generally any problems regarding fitting shape, especially the cheaper ones at the around £100 mark on eBay and James Paddock. I was wondering if anyone could offer advice on who my best option to go with from their own experiences. Many thanks in advance, T Rock
