You could maybe put a metal plate over the hole. Then you would have longer to find a replacement in good condition. |

The OEM mats cover most of the floor area so, unless the sides of the footwell are worn, they should cover the damage. |

Hi I did consider mats but I really want to tidy up that floor area and my carpet is VERY rough I just cannot find a new one anywhere,,, I went to the local OPC today in desperation and NO carpet pieces are available anymore..thats NONE at all I dont mind how much I pay, but that isnt helping lol All the best Brett

Have you tried contacting a US firm to get just one, or use yours as a template and get someone local to make another. |

Hi Mark Good thinking...I have contacted Roger at 928RUS ..no reply as yet.... I was also thinking today about getting a local firm to copy it, but the problem with that is the rubber insert for heels....not sure if they could add that or not.... All the best Brett

911perv usually comes up with things like this, but here goes. What about this?. I know they are expensive, but it would bring back the whole interior and you can sell the ones you don't need. There is a guy up here who can copy carpets for interior, he has done a good job on a TIPEC members car, so that would be a good choice. |

Hi All Just to let you all know,after a huge amount of hunting round, I finally found this American company who are highly regarded for making brand new custom 928 carpets or even complete sets and have ordered a drivers carpet in dark blue... It comes complete with the vinyl foot rest and slot for pedal and button fastening holes as original... http://www.classic9leathershop.com/ It cost me $159 plus $39 carriage...so all in a total of £120.37.. I will take some pics when I get it and post them here . All the best Brett

Hi All Just to let you know the end to the story, I fitted the brand new carpet from the US today... Its a perfect fit and looks great. I got some new hold down buttons from the local OPC, which they had to order in from Germany at £1.60 for all 4 lol, thats 2 for each side. Weird if you think about it, no carpets available for any 928 but they have buttons lol I will add a picture when I get a minute, probably after the weekend as its Poole Quay this Friday and the big Sherborne Castle show on Sunday. All the best Brett
