New carpets needed for my Tamora DIY fit or not guys?

[geoffphead]

Its time for my very faded carpets to be replaced, firstly is it a diy job? who sells them and any idea if there is such a thing as non fade TVR carpet.

Any clues guys?

Unless you are a trimmer I wouldn't attempt it, for example how will you stitch all the edging, do you have a sewing machine which will go through carpet and two layers of leathercloth? It's something which is worth paying a professional to do.

it really depends how fussy you are about your car.

I re-carpeted my S2. Basically bought a load of underlay and off cut from my local carpet right and about10 cans of spray adhesive. By doing it this way I made the car a lot quieter in the cabin. It was a bit of a PITA at times but generally not that bad considering I had never done anything like this before.

I would describe the finish as presentable but by no means perfect - most places it is fine but where the carpets meet the door seals I struggled with the thicker carpet. I bought some burgundy leather trim and hand stitched it (very hard work) in the few areas that really needed it.

Have a word with Adrian at CentralTVR/Powerbodyshop. Think supply and fitted it's £420

thanks chaps, I should have said carpet kit with ready edged bits. I will give central TVR a call that sounds really good value.
