Omega Owners Forum - Carpet opinion

venom Intermediate Member Offline Posts: 313 South Moreton, Oxfordshire Gender: Drives: 1997 2.5 CDX Estate	Carpet opinion 10. May 2011 at 20:33 My light grey carpet was really in a poor old state as the guy I got it off was a handy man, so had paint, bits of silicone etc. I bought a dark grey carpet set off Robert Lincs & fitted it today, I think it looks OK & it didn't stand out as much as I thought it would What do you lot think stick with Dark or put the light back in

May 2011 at 21:27 Looks good, in my opinion, sort of matches the dash and the door cards. You could do with some mats to help keep it clean... If it were me then I'd change the seats and spray or change the dash too, thats what I had to do with my current Vectra to get the cream interior clean!

Been looking on ebay at modern autos, starting at nearest first to me, everything so far, of interest, has leather.....

but a lot of 'old' cars used to come with leather as standard too. Wink

And our cars had vinyl, worse than leather but equally hot in the summer and cold in the winter, in the 80's cloth became king, and rightly so in my opinion.... Thumbs Up!
