    Default Auto carpet in melb

    Im trying to track down a good new moulded carpet for my TA22
    There are plenty of places that do them at reasonable prices but who do good ones,
    cause i have seen alot of really bad ones.

    Who have people used before?
    Cheers

    I'd recommend the Knox carpet as well.
    I've also used Tru-Fit, available through 'The Dashboard Doctor' in Coburg but found it to be quite bulky, making it hard to fit around the doors and kick panels.

    how long ago were these faded knox carpets bought, and what colour? the black knox ones I've seen have been flawless (apart from the obvious cutting/padding required to get them to fit)
