blue95 0 Posted February 28, 2011 How much does a mint set got for these days? Might have a much better option in terms of quality, finish, material and price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nsmjl02 0 Posted February 28, 2011 Blue95, I understand that they are stil available from the dealers and at a lower price than I paid on e-bay! Think it's around the 60 mark depending on whether you can get some discount from your dealer. Second hand, you must be looking at 20-30 I guess.

CazzaVR 0 Posted February 28, 2011 Got mine for around £45 inc discount from my dealer 10 months ago. Availability seems to be very patchy though. Really nice quality- good backing, embroidered logo etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really nice quality- good backing, embroidered logo etc. Agreed should get them for £50 with very little haggling even if you can't get a generous discount. As said current production run are good quality and its nice to get the original VW equipment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted February 28, 2011 Is it actually the proper mats with embroidered/stitched logos rather than the crappy stick on type? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted February 28, 2011 Yep - £45 - locally sourced too so being made in the UK somewhere! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blue95 0 Posted March 1, 2011 A lot of dealers are now going 'unofficially' to small mat makers to get there mats made up, as there are better margins in it for them. Does anyone have any pics of the backing, the binding and close of carpet? Reason being is I have seen some fantastic quality custom ones and just wanted to see how the dealer ones compared. I know it might seem a bit OCD, but the last mats i bought were utter pants and have slowly self destructed, whilst the car has been laid up lol.

nsmjl02 0 Posted March 1, 2011 blue95, If you don't get an answer by the weekend I can post up some pics. Any chance you can send through the link for the alternative mats you are looking at? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blue95 0 Posted March 3, 2011 and cheap to buy? fingers crossed I should have gone and picked mine up, but been side tracked. Having them done dark grey with light grey binding to match the leathers. Price wise arround £75. I learnt my lesson with the cheap mats I bought a while back lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nsmjl02 0 Posted March 3, 2011 Blue95, Keen to see the pictures. I bought the original mats and the fronts are good but the backs just don't fit! Also quite keen on some tailored colouring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I have the same problem with my cheap crappy ones. Might just get the mats trial fitted first before I shell out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tony_ack 0 Posted March 8, 2011 Did/does VW make rubber mats for the Corrado? Got some rubber ones in the MK2 and they're fab for this time of year. Beige mats and winter do not make a good look. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poll250 0 Posted March 8, 2011 Would it be possible to get a single all black matt for the drivers side? My others are mint but mine is Fubar'd! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted March 14, 2011 Did/does VW make rubber mats for the Corrado? Got some rubber ones in the MK2 and they're fab for this time of year. Beige mats and winter do not make a good look. Yep, actually the same as MK2 IIRC but you cut slightly to fit the Corrado - around £25 a pair from VW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blue95 0 Posted March 15, 2011 Sorry should have updated this.....still messing arround trying to get insurance done! Mats are done....just waiting for the fixing kit.....so near yet so far! Hopefully should have them buy the end of the week! with or without the fixing kit! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted March 15, 2011 Yep, actually the same as MK2 IIRC but you cut slightly to fit the Corrado - around £25 a pair from VW Got a set in my garage but never actually get around to putting them in the car when winter comes around. They're seriously heavy duty and reckon they'll last you forever! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KipVR 1 Posted March 18, 2011 I've got some from Autostyle, really good fit and finish, they made a boot carpet up for me too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diesel Junior 0 Posted March 18, 2011 I'll 2nd that Kip, you get what you pay for with mats and Autostyle are at the upper end but are far better than others i have had on other cars. The thicker and the heavier = the better is the rule of thumb although Ryanair didnt like carrying them to Alicante..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
