How I made Rover 75 floor mats

hrissim · 11th February 2018, 17:23

Just done the job in 60min.
I`m satisfied.

A month ago I bought from eBay 3 textile badges.
They are with excellent quality.
Textile front/face with some kind plastic layer/base on the back.

How I did it:

Step 1 - Cleaned & dried the mats - very important!;

Step 2 - Positioned the badges on the mat:

Step 3 - Outlined the badges with a chalk;

Step 4 - Melted the threads to the net core:

Step 5 - Glued carefully with a silicone.

Job done:

Tomorrow morning will fit them in John the Tea

Oddly enough I have just found fabric badges in the boot of my latest 75. Thanks for the "How to" so I can now do the same.

Hello @hrissim where did you pick up your textile badges?
Or what are they made of?
Thanks
