I don't think the carpets have been available for years. What part number have you?
Those that have sourced similar carpet have used Woolies and had them fitted or done it themselves. Have a look at Simon Whitaker's Annie pics to see them Here

Yes Allan is correct Woolies can supply the carpet be careful though the shade of grey varies! - send them a sample if you can. On the original ones the carpet is bonded to sound deadening material.
You can get this from Woolies as well I used to old carpet as a template, spray glued the deadening to the back and then I got my local trim shop to machine the grey vinyl edging all round. At the same time I also got them to stitch on the back some builders visqueen (thick polythene sheet) to stop the sound deadening absorbing water and smelling.

I've been half trying to source new carpets for a while, I'd imagine I'm not the only one and that there'd be quite a few others that might be interested in new carpets too, especially as we've now all got 50th's with 13 yr old carpets.
With this in mind I wonder if it might be worth talking to someone like Exmoor, Woolies or anyone else that people might know of, with the idea of getting a job lot made up. Maybe we could even look at getting them with 50th style logo branding.
How many would be interested ?
Count me in for one set, anyone else ?

| I have what i think is a drivers footwell carpet for the 50th. It has never been fitted so does not have any wear but has been in the garage for some time. Don't have the 50th anymore so I'm open to offers |
