I paid £20 for my mint rear boot carpet  :sad:
It did have scene tax on it as it was off ED38
I only buy ones that have that deep shag pile feel hence always get pictures of it before parting with cash mate  :wink:

I sold a full black set (front, rear, boot) for £20 a couple of months back which were in good nick - thought that was a fair price.

It did include the sides I forgot about that!
The 16vers have the sh!tty foam side I hate it! Needs proper carpet walls IMO!
Do you think I can fit over the foam or remove the foam first?

I thought Ben the foam could act well against cold and extra sound deadening underneath by the looks of it the only thing hold them in, is the seat belt bolts I'll trial fit the carpet walls over the top, but if it just looks naff I'll remove the foam.
