Where to get decent Floor Mats

[Wayne Kerr]

Anybody on here got these mats. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190464073980&category=36678&_trksid=p5197.c0.m619

I got the link from a post on here somewhere, but didn't see any comments.

They've sold a quite few of these vRS mats. Some one on here must have them, what's your verdict?

OEM mats are always the best fit and quality IMO.

I understand that, my question was for opinions on the mats in the link.

Normally I would agree with you but the latest ones are not that good.

I got some with my 60 plate Octavia when I got it new and after 45k the drivers side was shot.

I popped into my local dealer to check the warranty as they were only 10 months old but now out of warranty.

But the guy did manage to get me one out of an ex demo car they had put new mats in and gave it me FOC.

I do drive in boots all day so I am heavy on mats but my previous Skoda mats (4 years ago) had no holes in after 85k.

But the older Mats did cost more so they have cheaper material for the cheaper mats.

Ordered a set of these for summer use and tomorrow will order the Rubber mats from my local dealer.

Bloody 'ell', I can see that some peeps have jumped the gun without posting here, the price has jumped from £29.99 to £41 odd.

Thanks guys!

Is this for a set of four mats? The description says 'full set' but the picture rather confusingly only shows the front pair...

[Wayne Kerr]

Post 26 is for 4 mats.

Post 30(?) shows only for 2 mats.

Apologies. My opinion is those ebay mats are not as good as the OEM ones.

My OEM ones had a hole in the drivers side after 12k kilometres..

I would never touch them again

It's not usual to drive in spiked running shoes!

[Wizzmed]

Got some rubber ones from the dealer today (had some in stock thankfully) as I now have a hole in the drivers mat after only 57k. Wished I had got them sooner as they look the bee's b******s! I had rubber mats from day one with my old MKI Octavia Classic and they still looked like new when I got rid of it. Great for the winter, easy to clean and cost less than the carpet mats.

[Wayne Kerr]

Received my ebay mats Friday.

Went to dealer on Saturday to collect a set of OEM rubber mats (inc; Boot liner), had a butchers at the OEM vRS mats ,,,,,,, didn't bother.

Ebay vRS mats are the rowlocks. Simples!

[patrolman]

Contacted Skoda Ireland today vis Facebook

Queried how long they should last.

To and fro with a few chats and got a phoner call from my Dealer offering me a replacement set of either Carpet type or Rubber oners.

Which should I take?

Go for the rubber ones, winter is upon us, they are 25 squids from Skoda.

I think the fabric mats are around 40 squids.

Then get over to ebay and get the fabric ones, they are 100% better than OEM (£29 odd).

Which ones on Ebay?

The problem I see is the postage cost for them exceeds the purchase price of any I have seen

Cuse me, we're talking Octavia here buster, not a skate boot. :p

[Aspman]

My oems are wearing through but you can get the super cheapo value Tesco ones and they're so thin you can slip them under the fabric mats.
