Bye Bye Cost Cutting Hello New Long Pile Carpet!

Alex30013k · 10th May 2007, 20:41

Well thought i would tell you all about my busy weekend,

Found a Wreg car that was being broken, so i went shopping!

I did not like the fact that the foot well carpet trim was deleted, and i just did not think the new short pile carpet looked as clean as my old car!

Looks a lot better i think!

Plus i got a new face left to hide the age of my car as i am going to have to keep her for the next 100 years...

Considering the W reg car was being broken (Why) the carpet is extreemly clean.
What is the footwell carpet trim?

I like your number but you may like one that I am just about to get "M6 ROV"

Some pretty extensive DIY there! Well done, she looks great.

You have been busy!

Looks very very good though... You'll eventually have the worlds first Mk3 Rover 75 by the time you've finished all those retrofits and mods!

The carpets look excellent Alex. Don't I recall that you had M15 ROV on the previous one.

Having gutted the interior of your new car, did you notice much difference from the old one which would have been pre Project Drive? What was missing compared with the old one?

you can always tell a MK2 bumper on a MK1 car though.

The bonnet gap is right!!!

/RUNS!

Cos i spent a whole day cleaning it! What a night mare, When i turned up to collect the carpet i nearly walked away, it was in a horrid state, but they clean up so well!

Foot well trim is the carpet around the foot vent, from 52reg on wards they removed the carpet and just put plan plastic there, Apart from the V8's but thats cos they have a new carpet!
