Just out of interest, what is the going rate for these now? Are they only available secondhand?

I took mine out some time ago to store them and use rubber mats instead!

I took the carpet mats out of my car the day I picked it up from the dealer and put some VW rubber mats in. Hard wearing, easy to wipe clean and always come up looking like new after a quick wipe over.

IMHO VW carpet mats aren’t particularly hard wearing and in wet, snowy / slushy weather or muddy conditions, they’re not that practical either. I also quite like the slightly utilitarian look of the OEM rubber mats too.

My used Golf didn't come with any sadly so I bought some from Amazon for £13 which seem fine.

I'd agree any kind of hard heeled shoe destroys the VW carpet mats in a week. I used to use my Weathertech mats for most of the year and carpet in the summer, but carpet just seem to get dirty after nothing now compared to rubber.

Anybody tried Diamond Car Mats, they look impressive but at the price I would hesitate to buy without knowing how good they are.

https://www.diamondcarmats.com/

www.maxxcarmats.com seem to sell the exact same mats but a lot cheaper?

They do look nice though.

If you type 'Diamond car mat review' into YouTube there's some videos on there. Obviously won't be for the exact website but you can get an idea of what that style of car mat is like
