Hi,
the carpet, not the mat, on the drivers side could do with replacing, as there is a hole in it!
Rimmers sell the whole lot and not individual pieces at a staggering cost. Anybody managed to replace this single carpet?

kind regards
david

Probably get a result if you try mgfntfbitz...

Thanks David, no joy there. I am currently in contact with a couple of suppliers who are sending me some samples to look at.
I will post the results.
regards

I've seen just the drivers side carpet come up for sale on eBay from time to time.

The replacement carpet is made by Newton Commerical and I can tell you it fits a lot better than the original and the quality of the carpet itself seems just as good.

Hi and thanks for the info.
Newton commercial will only provide a full set and not part set.

cheers

I have 2 samples from, Segal motor trimmings.
Black Wessex, and Black tufted, the later being the best match, but both are good. They both have a rubberised back on them. They come in 60 inch widths and sell in metre lengths.
My wife is a seamstress, so I will let her carry out the repair when things warm up a little. 
I am still awaiting a few more samples, so if any good, I will post some more info later.

Techautosuk, a company on eBay, have a set of carpets that they could potentially copy and supply, however it is the lack of enquiries that may be stopping them moving forward. If you are interested in a new set of carpets, then please get in contact with them

FYI the original carpet is one piece.

Thought that I would update you all on the carpet saga!
A set of carpets from Rimmers, £204.00 plus delivery, Pretty expensive, so I decided on a repair before making the move.
I carefully cut out the hole to the size of the sample. To the rear side of the original carpet I hot glued a piece of cloth fabric, ensuring that it covered the cut out by about an inch all round.
Then, I hot glued in the carpet sample piece. Not exactly perfect, but pretty good.
Judge for yourselves!

It's fine. 😆 
Much more satisfying than just paying out 200 quid.
