You can also get a new black carpet from your VW dealer, this will it richt in, so you won't have any trouble with the corners etc.

Costs about 150 euro here in Holland

that is a very good idea!

should still be able to source the carpet as a part from VW. in either off-black, flannel grey or lagoon (cream?)

Pull out your old one and use it as a template to cut your own carpet. Just turn it over and use chalk to mark out the slits/cuts

just did mine night b4 last!

easy as to do..... i got my local trimmers to give me 2 metres of black carpet and sound proofing for 30 quid!

i used my old 1 as template to cut around and thats it really.

just be carfull as you get near the footwells as the original carpet is press into shape. with the new carpet. you'll have to use some strong adhesive and heat gun to mould it in the corners.....

i'll post picks later....

p.s.... i also go black door cards, front and rear, black roof liner in alcantara, and about to perform a black dash too...... :D

cant wait to get it finished!
