Mark, am sure you asked to see pics of my black/anthracite carpet fitted.......sorry about the delay!

[jiggad23]

Are you getting that new car smell , I always thought the carpet created it

[Oet]

lol, not massively actually, i did this a while ago though! now it smells of my dog anyway:rolleyes:

[banditbarron]

How much was the carpet? looks great

[Oet]

think i paid about 120ish, was a while ago now, but it was well well worth it!

[vrs-dan]

love the carpet was it out of another car or custom thanks daniel

[Oet]

cheers Daniel,

Its a standard octavia carpet, so is a perfect fit! i bought it new from the dealer and its listed as 'anthracite' for all octavias as far as i remember other than the vrs.

Although i think westallc has an s3 carpet in his so i assume the golf/seat carpet should/would fit too.

[vrs-dan]

yeah ive got black one out of a golf gti but urs is so much nicer

[mark_sargeant19]

that carpet looks lovely, cheers for the pics matey

[Oet]

No worries Mark,

So are you tempted to do it then too?

[mark_sargeant19]

yeah definatly, dont suppose you have a part number?

[Oet]

cool, it should be 1U2863367L74C, double check that though!

[Baznitch]

How long did it take? i have one on order as im getting bored with using the carpet cleaner.

[Oet]

Yes, i know what you mean, I ended up shampooing my old carpet on my drive once it was out, i just couldnt get it clean enough!

Well its hard to say as i had a water leak so had the carpet out for a few weeks so the sound deadening could dry and till i knew i had fixed the leak. I also added some additional wiring etc.

Just depends on how much experience you have had at removing bits from your car, if you are quick you could do easily over a weekend.

Its not a hard job, you just need to take pretty much all your interior and trim (not boot area).

When you do it, if you get stuck (there are a few annoying bits like taking out the centre console) give me a shout and i will try to help.
