Do complete kits tailor made check the site above

Make sure it's the same thickness as the original stuff or else the carpets won't fit properly.

I used some really modern thin stuff and the carpets are then not right.

tallpete is right if its not thick enough it spoils the carpet  


This months GOLF+ magazine has fitting MK1 carpets including sound deadning from http://www.newtoncomm.co.uk/index.jsp so worth the pennies just to see how it goes so buy the mag
