I'm ready to order some new carpet for Cora from the advert in the magazine, it's a mk1 1.8SDL in harvest gold with brown vinyl seats and dash, the original carpet has been replaced by that from a ital in a dark brown, there is some of the original under the seat runners which is a darkish beige and i would like to have that again.

Anyone know the correct name for it please?

I bought carpet from this eBayer a while back, really good. Need to buy a front half for TDT soon in navy blue, or midnight blue as it's called here. Are those the original names of the colours?

My car would of had olive or sorrel coloured carpet originally according to the trim guide,

The carpets are a dark beige/khaki colour and the seats are a dark browny/green with a brown dash.

I've not seen that colour advertised anywhere....

Sorry to keep asking but I want to get the correct one

Your seats and carpet are both Olive then :wink: Originally starts out as a sort of khaki but the vinyl over the years goes brown then eventually grey.

Thanks Josh for your help.

Once the paint is on I will get the carpet ordered.
