grey looks good, but i reckon if it matches the interior it would be rad.

make sure you can still get at your spare!!!

yer you just pull up the base wood and you can get to the spare.

if i were to match the enterior at the moment I would have to make it cow (black and white) like my seat covers :roll: which i am definately not doing. the enterior mats atm are just grey so i recon ill go with that.

is it imperative that it be coloured? :?: cow prints?

you're really only going to be putting things in there, and then taking them out again.

Go the grey, black is too easy to spot the fluff and crap, as mentioned.
unless you go white like the body...? :roll: :oops:

something that no-one addressed...what sort of carpet?

marine carpet would go alright, you want something cheap and tough. marine carpet is tough! but it feels horrible!
