Hello all,
Those who have DIY'd replacing the carpets - how much carpet material did you need to use?
Cheers

This won't help you at all - but I used half of what I bought... except I don't know how much I purchased......
.... it was sold on ebay as "BMW-MINI" carpet, in sheets...... no actual dimensions were given, just an 'approximation' of 2m x 3m... they were actually a tad bigger - presumably, the right size for a press that makes a floorpan carpet for a MINI.
I bought 4 pieces, and one was sufficient to do both Elan footwells from the front bulkhead to the rear bulkhead. I used a second one to do the rear bulkhead, speaker boxes and 'B' pillar covers (plus the map pocket and other little bits).
I still had 2 left, so I did the other car!

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?
