With my mini theres clips around the outside of the cabin on the inside.
Are these for carpet? If they are do you think i should pull them out and just put the carpet in there so ya cant take it out again.

If they are little round push stud clips, then yes they are for carpet (so I have been told). I don't use mine because the carpet tucks in under the kick panel things.

There should be 2 of them on each side - you'll need the female clip that goes through the carpet if you want to be able to use them. A complete set is a couple of pounds from minispares UK. Otherwise just leave them there covered by the carpet, they are completely hidden.

sweet thanx
my dad said to use them but i really wanted that clean edge look.
also anybody know how to put the carpet down, like under it i put some sound deffener or somthing like that.
then do i jus glue the carpet down or what canuse the way im looking at it the carpet will be really loose if i just glue it. How do i make it so the carpet is real firm.

tell it it looks fat?

dont bother glueing if it is under the kick panels it will mould to shape
that seems to be the way to go
