Im in need of replacing the carpet on my TC,was thinking of doing it myself but i think i would like to buy it ready to fit. Any ideas where the best place for price and quality? Thanks in advance 8)

in my experience mate the ready made ones are ok and do the job but aint great, hence why i made up my own, i just got some carpet from woolies trim and shaped it to an original one, works well, just need to be patient and allow the carpet to settle for a few days before finally trimming off on the edges.

How was the carpet "shaped" originally? Did BL have a machine that stamped or moulded it to the correct shape?

it was moulded by a big heating press (thats why the prop - tunnel ) is formed

My carpet from Woolies trim was about 60 to 80 quid. Used original backing like Gary D but as the weather was so cold did not do such a great job as Gary D but it is smart so pleased.

Mine was off the roll so not formed just flat.
Did it that way as I could match the original carpet style and colour spot on. But harder to fit.
