New carpet for a mini.....
how much and where from?
I am thinking all red, or red with black edging, or black with red edging....
I want thick premium stuff, not that thin felt type cr@p

I like red because it's different. I have had black in the past (not in Mini's though) and I find it shows every piece of crud that your shoes bring into the car.... 
Grey with red edging is a cool idea. Might look into that one......

Let me know anton, I might go halves with you on 2 sets. Maybe they'll give us a discount if we buy 2 instead of 1? I heard that the best type is the pre-moulded carpet? Red sounds good 
Let me know what you find as I have no time to look around for myself

No worries Chong. I saw a 'how-to' on making your own once. A guy used brown paper to make the patterns, then cut out all the pieces and then had them edged. Looked great. I was thinking about doing that........

i remember getting quoted about 200 bucks to get moulded carpet for my van. about 100 for the front carpet - moulded and it goes from the firewall to behind the front seats and another 100 for a roll of non moulded carpet (same colour) for me to cut to size for the rear cargo area. the guy sells it in loop or pile, and also i think half loop/half pile. and he's got underlay for you to cut to size as well. he's got a whole range of colours....RED, black, brown, grey + some more The guys name is Dilip - his shop is a few doors down from where Ivan and Gareth are in caslte hill. I've got their card, i'll get it later and put up the details for ya! |

Sounds good!! ...and close to home as well
Is it automotive carpet he sells, or just carpet....
I wonder how much it costs to get the edging done if I cut it myself? |

I bought some moulded stuff from a place here in Melbourne (for those intereste, in Knox). I would never do it again. I couldn't do a very good job of installing it. Very hard to get under the door areas. I had my carpets made by my trimmer the next time and he did an excellent job. I would certainly only ever have carpet done again at a trimmers. This way you can have any colour you like with any colour trimming. |

I was talking about recarpeting my mini to a guy at work who told me he knows a guy that will mould and install it for $150 as he got his mini done but that is in Melbourne. I ask him if anyone is interested. |

Mutlitple peice carpet sets i think are the only way to go. There glued in place where they need to be and the rest can be removed easily to clean. I have both my minis with this style of carpeting. It is essentially what a trimmer would do, but you can buy it and install it yourself. Cheers Aaron |

I've got the moulded ones and they didn't fit bad after some work, but checking the floors for rust etc is a PITA as it's glued down. I tear it up every year or 2, have a squiz under, then glue it back down.
BTW I won't use any type of carpet underlay now. It just holds water... the rubber stuff is worst.
