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?

you may be able to find the listing in your ebay history. depends on how long ago... which now reminds me of how long ago you done the green car... and i suspect ebay wont go that far back

Ebay 'only' goes back to 2017,,,,, unfortunately, I'd already tried looking before I made my post.... I was hoping that I'd be able to find the original order.
