carpet

#1 Post by 80Sprint »

My Sprint carpet is in acceptable condition but I have replaced sills in the past and my sill carpet was shot after pulling it off. I have some second hand replacements but these are also a bit threadbare. I could use these as pattern but can anyone recommend the best place to find similar black loop carpet.

I'd have a go with Aldridge Trimming, Woolies or Martrim. I will need to do the same but I have no patterns. Should you find a potential supplier then I would be interested in a set of sill carpets and that little bit at the back under the seat.

I also have patterns for these pieces, and have been looking for some carpet similar to the original stuff.

Would like to know how you get on...

Martrim's tufted nylon looks very flat and not the loop type as originally fitted. Aldridge don't list the Dolomite carpet. Woolies are a tad more expensive but do have a deeper pile black carpet and Karvel for a few quid more again which looks close to original. No doubt I will not get an exact match but if it looks decent from standing in the doorway I am happy with that as I am not in to originality to that level. I don't think Woolies do samples so I may have to take a chance. Let me know if anyone has any comments on the black Karvel.
