New Carpets

Bought the new carpet set at the MG spares show last weekend and following the leak decided to change the if not cheap then certainly nasty under carpet felt, for something that didn't hold eight times its weight in water. :shrug:

Got the foam from Tom Abraham who had a stall at the show. 2 sheets 10mm and 1 15mm ( if doing it again would use 1 sheet 20mm and 1 15mm with an off cut of 10mm for the bit behind the seats.)

So this weekend, removed seats, T-bar, arm rest, alarm sensor and the bit the arm rest fits onto. Then removed the carpets and all the insulation (used this as templates for the foam).

Put 20mm on the bulkhead behind the seats although would use 15mm if doing it again. Sandwiched the 10mm & 15mm sheets to make 25mm for the footwell, but max that will fit on the floor behind the seats is 10mm





was going to replace the insulation at the front as well until i realised that the pedal box was bolted on top of it :shrug:

Fitted carpet, but haven't yet trimmed it off - letting it settle for a week or so.



finished job :woohoo:

getting a supply of those suits and overshoes that scenes of crime officers wear - oh hang on that's nothing to do with keeping the carpet clean! :lol:

That's just a lack of imagination.

How about the seats?

I agree, I changed Meg's to CREAM several years ago. Looks stunning but is an absolute bugger to keep clean! Ended up cutting some of that carpet protection clear runner stuff into 'footwell over mats' and having that clipped using rover mat clips to the top of the mats.. works a treat.

(You can just about see one in the mess below!)

Aaaaarrrrrrggghhhhhh!!!!!!

Sorry that was my wallet running out the door :lol:

Nice seats - where did you see them Clive?

Interior looks really great. Can't wait to finish the outside/engine bits and get started on the inside.
