Fitted some new mats from carmats4u.com - saw one or two mentions on here but not much about if they were any good. They weren't too dear so I thought what the heck, can always send them back. £55 for a set of executive rubber with leather edging and double sticking. Good quality with the exception of a couple of bits of thread sticking up, which can be trimmed off. Good fit too, with the exception one corner of the drivers footrest
They look good. I’m a fan of rubber mats as they have better durability than carpet mats (mine still look pretty much like new after nearly 42 months of use) and they’re easy to clean too. I keep mine in my car all year round as I quite like the utilitarian look of rubber mats.
Mine are VW rubber mats that have a little raised edge to contain any wetness such as slush and snow in the winter time. I have to remember to empty the melted snow and slush out of the car before it runs over the edges of the mats though!
As for the fit of the drivers mat around the footrest in your car; it could be the metal cover on the footrest that’s causing the mat to fit a little too snugly in that area, as the metal cover is a little wider than the OEM plastic foot rest it fits over.
