Find a car that is being parted out.

that can work for most applications. but I really want to get a bright red carpet in my car.. so if you want a non OEM color you'll have to go the ebay route

www.newtoncomm.co.uk if you're after oem fit & have the budget

Ebay if not.......

I installed one a few weeks back from www.mtmfg.com. It was a complete pain in the arse to cut all of the holes out etc, but now it's in I'm pretty happy with it.

I think if I were to do it again, I would try the 2-piece pre-cut ones from Newton. A bit more expensive and will probably take a bit longer to get to the US from the UK. I was quoted $375 shipped from Newton for the carpet + sound deadening kit, which is exactly the same price as I paid for the mtmfg carpet with matching floor mats.

Price is NOT that bad on UK site, could be a better.

So If I go that route, which one do I need to get? There are two

GOLF-RABBIT MK.I CABRIO MOULDED CARPET SET-LHD
GOLF/RABBIT /CADDY MK.I 2 DOOR SALOON MOULDED CARPET SET-LHD


Both are 201 US +/-

CK5522 MK.I FOOTWELL SOUND DEADENING KIT Black x 1 £ 25.01
Shipping cost to send these items to United States of America £ 86.00

Total in GBP £ 240.25

That was my quote just a few weeks back. The 86 pounds shipping is the killer.

Damn, $105 US in shipping? That's absurd. No way I am spending 400 on carpet

I just got a red from Newton. Beautiful condition, scary easy to install, and well worth the money. Spring for their sound insulation pads too. What a difference! If you're going to spend the money to do it, spend a bit extra and do it right

[dave93cab]

Any chance you could post some pics up of your carpet? The door edgs etc if you could?

Did you need to cut it at all?

Thanks!
