Sorry my mistake, it was 105 pounds. So about 160-170? Still well worth the money

Agreed, still good value.

I just went to order a set of those brilliant cheap Newtons carpets from Mini spares - They are 180 POUNDS delivered - try $290.00.

I'm looking at some new carpet too, but it's tempting to order carpet from the UK. I placed an order about a year ago, but they decided not to include my carpet in the order. But they still charged the same postage. :(

I was thinking about ordering from a different supplier:

They sell cheap door seals too, I'm just not sure of the quality.

Minisport.co.uk Definately cheaper

I've had issues in the past with the UK minisport. Notably, I placed an order which included some carpet, and they decided not to send the carpet, along with a few other pieces they forgot. They still charged the same postage, though.

I was thinking of huddersfield spares because they have a carpet + underlay set for the same price as the deluxe carpets.

Be careful with carpets from the UK, a lot of them are made for MK3 onwards floor pans, which will leave you with lots of extra carpet around the tunnel in the centre of the front carpet (look terrible, I have one in my car...) I'd only go for a newton commercial carpet for a MK1 floor, will fit spot on.

I order everything from the uk including carpets engine parts brakes etc and I've never ever had a problem (all from minisport uk) and it's always cheaper then going and buying it here.. Carpet set I bough for the clubby was even cheaper (like 80 bucks) and it was fine! Fitted fine cept for the sides which I cut down to fit beautifully anyway.. Certainly a better fabric and nicer fit then the "fully moulded" set I bought over here..
And the delivery time is always good! I dunno why you would get them from anywhere else really..
