Floor mats

[antelope]

Can anyone recommend a source of quality mats please?

[speed-demon]

The Lotus OEM are available, but hardly quality... But they look nice.
Especially with the coloured logo.

[antelope]

That was quick! Where from? And when you sday 'hardly quality', are they really poor? It's possible to get supposedly nice ones with a logo on for about 85 quid on ebay, custom made, but I haven't seen them so can't vouch.

Floor mats are available new from Bell & Colvill
Quality is ok. Certainly miles better than the cheapie generic ones you find in a motor factors.

They're only about 40 squid. Look tatty in the heel position after six months... Much more sense than the expensive bespoke options though.

[antelope]

Ah that's great. Thanks very much.

Shame those Bel and Colvil mats are only in grey...I wanted black to show off the cream leather [!]

I got a set of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Lotus-Elan-1991-p ... 563db80b89 and added the upgrade http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DELUXE-RED-UPGRAD ... 5634206857 to get a set of red mats. They are supplied edge bound but no heel pads as they're not needed. Very very happy with the quality and fit, they're different shaped for each side and available in a range of colours.

Seem cheap as well Alan, are you'rs the eep pile and if so, how does it look and work?

...can't find mats on the Paul Matty website...

They do standard, deluxe and luxury versions of their mats. I got the deluxe, I think the luxury will be just too deep pile.

You pick the car mat of your choice, then add any extras like change of colour/material, heel pads etc. The deluxe version I got are superb, considering the price too, I was very happy with them. They're edge bound in matching thread, quite a deep pile so a quality feel, supplied without any heel pads, I queried this and they replied that the quality over the standard version is so much better they don't need protection with heel pads. Though you have the option of rubber or aluminium pads if you so wish.

They are very nicely tailored to fit the footwells too, and don't move about.

Thanks ALan. I've emailed them asking about deluxe black, which I can't find.

Mine look practically new after 3 years/15000 miles.

I Just got my set deliverded from Wil as per above in Don's post.
They look the bomb, but i wonder how they look after 10.000 miles....

Mine came without fixtures.
Can anyone please tell me if the OEM fixtures just go into the carpets, or are the fixtures secured in a hole in the floor of the car?


thnx!
