eddy, bring your deluxe on friday if your coming down.

the vynil flooring is very valuable and i feel it adds character to your car. it isn't like the everyday mini or classic with a bit of loop pile carpet.

and sometimes if you try and pull it off it can tear or rip. :x

I agree 100%. Vinyl floors and people that can do them well are a rare thing these days and to be 110% honest.... (I prefer them).... they are so much easier to keep clean!! :)

But if you take it out, and realise the grave grave mistake and want to put it back in only to realise that you damaged it,, you will have a hell of a time trying to find someone that can do a decent job of replacing it. I say keep it... But thats just my opinion.. :)

Vinyl Floor Covers are just great. How easy are they to clean and keep clean? You can even hose it out.

I'd say the car would be worth more as it came from the factory, ie with the vinyl floor covering.

BTW my missus found a place that did replacement vinyl floor coverings, although I seem to recall that they weren't cheap and I don't know how close (if at all) to the original they are.

Any place that does replacement carpet kits can do vinyl floors. They use the same patterns.

Knox in Sydney, Exact Fit here in SA etc..

Colours and textures however are usually not anywhere near correct.
