There has been a topic on moulded mini carpets before somewhere. I personally wouldn't ever get another one. I think mine was from Trufit. I know it was in Knox here in Melb. I don't think anything fits as well as a trimmer made carpet. I also think that nothing looks more untidy in a mini that a carpet that doesn't sit properly. |

JAM has an Exactfit brand moulded carpet set (front/rear) and I think it does the job real well. I am happy with it, but for Pops I am seeking something as per original spec (ie: not moulded) Each to their own...... |

I have used moulded carpet in mine. I am happy with the finished product, I had do do some custom trimming at the door edges and it bubbles in places however for the price compared to a custom jobbie you gotta be happy. |

No, I didn't use it on my import. I used to have a Clubman GT which I fitted the moulded black carpet into (or tried anyway). I think the extra for the trimmers work is well worth it in the long run. I will in time be having my trimmer replace the carpet in the Rover I have bought. |

no im not an actual trimmer. im a motor trimmer apprentice never the less i can still produce pretty good work (i have someone very experienced who can do the sewing for me if i wish). to tell you the truth i haven't explored leather yet, i have endeavoured to call a few places in the past few days about leather supply. it all depends on how much the leather is gonna cost me, to how much i charge you
i wouldn't think anything under $300 per seat in full leather. it's VERY DEMANDING work. that being im always up for negotiations my prices are far from final. make an offer i may just budge
