Hi All

As the title really, I'm after a new matt set for my 2001 XJ, but these seem to be hard to come by if you are after OE replacements.

Does anyone know a good source of OE matts, or failing that a good quality aftermarket source that match the original?

And on that, can someone tell me what colour carpet this is please?

The trim code for my car is LFJ and then ES - but that seems to refer to leather rather than carpet colour.

All help much appreciated - thanks.

Carpet is Oatmeal - probably the same colour as your headlining.

Aftermarket mats I've seen and occasionally bought are nowhere near as good OEM ones. The Bay of E or perhaps Eurojag for some secondhand factory ones might be your friends here.

That's good info, thanks. I was searching around and thought it might be sable, although finding pictures was tricky (especially as I initially assumed sable was black!).
