Whilst you are at it, see if you can get some matching carpet to cover the back of the rear seat.



Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Finally got round to fitting the new carpet! Decided to go with newton commercials, and despite all the recommendations, its a thumbs down from me. Kinda wishing the £180 I've spent on the new carpet I'd have kept and thrown at getting the original carpet restored some how. Yes the newtons is moulded to the shape of the floor quite well, however it doesn't fit into the corners of the floor pans very well at all. There's a gap between the carpet and floor, and if you push it down so it sits into the corner as it should, it distorts the rest of the carpet and causes it to crease and pucker and go out of shape. Also the pre cut holes for seat runners, kick plate and the cap head bolt under the accelerator pedal dont align well at all and as a result exposes the underlay under the carpet. Also the thickness of the carpet feels thinner compared to the original. Again for £180 all in, very dissapointed!!
I will add some pics later so you can see what I mean!

If id have seen this ide have parted with a spare carpet that last I looked at it was mint.
Probally needs a good clean now though.
Shame to hear the carpet doesnt fit right
