If you give more specific information regarding what sort of car you are talking about and what sort of carpet replacement etc you are looking at replacing yours with I think you'll find people will be able to help out a bit more in the price department.

i know this might sound weird but repco do pre made carpet to suit various cars. i think they get it made for you as it takes a week or two to get there...

Actually, if you look at the forum with the same name as you, I did post up a place that does carpet I forget the place in Auckland's name, but there is an outfit in Aussie that does it cheaper and better quality by all accounts too.

AutoDec are the place in auckland, theyre out east way.

Theres a place in aus where I got mine from, they advertise in fast fours and have a page with listings of all the models they supply for. (I keep telling people I will get the name but keep forgetting, ill try remember this time)

I have seen/used carpet for KE3X models from both places, I have the carpet from aussie in my car, it was about $80 cheaper landed $NZ and is finished to a better quality. It came to roughly $200 landed over here, this price just includes carpet as you install it yourself, im not sure what an upholstrer would charge to install it.

When you buy it theres 3 styles, Loop, Plush, and Superplush. Dear god dont get superplush, its horrible and will make copious amounts of fluff for the next 10 years.

Jebus - which one did you go with & how have you found the wear on it ? Just curious as I will look at replacing the 25's a little latter on

Yup that looks like the place, not 100% on the name but would have to check my invioce. I went for Charcoal Plush from Aussie, its very very suiting to my car, as it has a black/grey dash etc. My mate got superplush from autodec, in charcoal also and it makes heeapps of fluff, and looks tacky, its just too plush.

My stuff from aussie required half the trimming and tucking to make it fit than the autodec stuff, but there is a couple of week shipping delay.

Ive had mine in my car for about 2 1/2 years, admittidly its only done 10,000km's since then, but it still looks brand new and doesnt wear excessively where people put thier feet etc.

If people are actually interested in seeing a photo of a slab of carpet in a car I could grab one of mine and post it up.

[GTCRSHR]

yeah i would appreciate that jebus

how would you compare the 2 on quality are they both of similar quality ? and is the superplush from auto dec as well made as your plush one?

[Jebus]

Heres a couple of pics, its hard taking photos of carpet

[clubk]

hey guys thanks for the help very appericated, i will try repco tommorw and also i just emailed the aussie website "knox carpet".. thanks for the help!

[GTCRSHR]

thanks for the pics,

i also emailed them no reply as of yet,

the carpet from the pictures isnt quiet what i was expecting to be honest (it could just be the pictures dont do it justice but compared to original carpet how much better / thicker is it ?

sorry for all the questions, but i want to make sure i buy the right one first time round

[2LTR Rona]

Its all good, cause your asking most of the questions I have too

[GTCRSHR]

ok got email back from them

315 AU$ thats for :

Superplush carpet, 2 meters extra same colour super plush for me to make into mats, and shipping to NZ ($AU85)

roughtly $NZ360

which i think its pretty dam good, for moulded carpets as long as the quality is there

unfortunatly the XTREME only come in the colours there, try keeping WHITE cleaN!!!!!

[2LTR Rona]

Thats not too bad at all, although trying to keep white carpet clean fork that think I'd have better luck getting blood out of a stone

[DR ROTOR]

hey i got a reply from the aussie website.. here is a quote below

"Carpets will cost $115, plus $85 for shipping in Aus dollars."


200 AUS dollars = $230

$230 NZ dollars delieverd to my doorstep

[DR ROTOR]
