Henry Boler Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Ooh, didn't realize we had a forum again until just now, great news! I'm looking at replacing all the carpets in my GT6 but given that there are so many options I'd like to know what's good and where from... Black is my colour too! Any help greatly appreciated!

dougbgt6 Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Well, there's moulded or ordinary. Moulded are the easiest to fit and are available from Rimmers, TSSC shop and the usual suspects. I think the moulded all come from the same source so it's just a question of price. So probably TSSC. some advertise different sets for rotoflex and non rotoflex and, for the GT6, the luggage area carpet is extra as there are different ones for each of the MKs. I think the quality of the moulded is not so good, reminded me of a pan scourer, get a sample from the TSSC shop and see what you think. You can get much better quality with the ordinary carpet but, more expensive, more difficult to fit and the major difficulty is the wheel arches. How do you curve and fix the carpet in two planes to get it looking reasonable? I'm thinking my wheel arch carpet is not badly worn, only faded. So I might get the ordinary carpet and dye my existing wheel arches. A good supplier of ordinary carpet is Coverdale, www.carcarpets.co.uk They will also send samples.

John Bonnett Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Newton Commercial make the moulded carpet and the quality of the product and their workmanship is absolutely excellent. Compared with normal carpet, it is the most expensive option but in my view the best and certainly the easiest to fit. The moulded pieces fit perfectly to the wheel arches, A post and the heel board. James Paddock may well sell it at the cheapest price but certainly worth shopping round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Twitchen Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Henry, I sourced mine via the TSSC shop and no complaints at all. Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
