They newies.

The ebay one would fit. I guess the biggest obstacle is the gear stick.
Other than that, everything is pretty much the same.

i've seen other carpets on sale on ebay aswell, i dont think they were moulded though, also i think they were cheaper. just do a search for mini in cars & suff, there are at least 3 shops on ebay that i've found.

The BEST kit i have ever seen.

Hey there harvey , i have just made a carpet set for my Mini K , carpet was an offcut loop pile from carpet store and cost $20 , underlay cost me $20 also , and a tin of contact cement was $10 from Bunnings . I still have to get the edges overlocked , will do that after Xmas, they charge about $3.50 a metre . It makes it easier if you have the old carpet as a template , its still a pain in the arse but hey for a few days effort and about $70 I have a brand new carpet indistinguishable from the original ....Cheers

Hi there ...Yer the original type carpet is crap , i have it in my Cooper S , but to keep it all original you have to have it , well for a Cooper S anyways . The Mini K heater is mounted in the engine bay , so i didn't have a prob , but the best thing is to take the heater out , then you only have to cut around the mounting brackets . I still have to take the carpet in to get the edges overlocked , but i will post some pics shortly ....cheers
