Title: Carpet opinion
Post by: venom on 10 May 2011, 20:33:02
My light grey carpet was really in a poor old state as the guy I got it off was a handy man, so had paint, bits of silicone etc.
I bought a dark grey carpet set off Robert Lincs & fitted it today, I think it looks OK & it didn't stand out as much as I thought it would  :)
What do you lot think stick with Dark or put the light back in  :question

Looks factory fit!!! very clean interior too, sometimes I regret going for leather as the cloth looks so much more "plush"  :)

Looks good, in my opinion, sort of matches the dash and the door cards.
You could do with some mats to help keep it clean...

If it were me then I'd change the seats and spray or change the dash too, thats what I had to do with my current Vectra to get the cream interior clean!

Dark over light anytime in my opinion and we have both..... :y

Oh and cloth over leather anytime as well for me... :y

Been looking on ebay at modern autos, starting at nearest first to me, everything so far, of interest, has leather..... :( :(

And our cars had vinyl, worse than leather but equally hot in the summer and cold in the winter, in the 80's cloth became king, and rightly so in my opinion.... :y :y

A/C in summer, seat heaters in winter. ;)
Leather makes a car look so much more classy and expensive. I love the look of it. :)

Vinyl was just the cheap(er) replacement of leather. (with Rexine in between  ;))
