Hi all

sorry for the cross post, but it was suggested I might get a better response here rather than in the styling and car care forum

so my leased Octavia's horrid car mats that the lease company provided have been finally binned after I wore a hole through with my heel

just got an original skoda set from rainworth motors eBay store and was considering how I might protect them and stop them from going the same way so quickly. They've already had an application of chemical guys fabric protection stuff

So has anyone added heel plates/pads to their mats? What would you recommend?

I spotted these

they do a black one, but can't help thinking they are a bit too chavvy for me! But perhaps they look better it the flesh? Has anyonye used these?

Thanks

chris

I've had an original Skoda set of mats for nearly 3 years and they show no sign of wearing through at all. They're far superior to the aftermarket carpet mats, much heavier.

You are doing well as the factory fit skoda mats I have had on both my Mk 1 and Mk 2 VRSs seem to hole at around the 3 yr (30k miles) mark.

So reliable I now use it as my sign to look for a new car!!!!!!
