constantinos Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Could someone help in deciding which one is best in quality and in fitment?Any experience and thoughts would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esxefi Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 the wool is nice and gives a superior feeling but if it is for a spit(or any convertible for that matter)used regularly i would and did go for the moulded carpet.it holds less water if you forget to raise the roof or get caught in a downpour and will resist mould better plus it's easier to fit.

daedalusminos Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Your answer is in your subject...molded carpets will fit better than luxury wool carpets but luxury wool carpets will be more, erm luxurious than molded carpets.But seriously, I would suggest you request samples before you purchase, but remember only a molded carpet will fit that tunnel correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Garvey Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Or...get a trimmers to do the tunnel and you do the rest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjwman Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 My carpets always move and ruck despite lots of press studs. Get Moulded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPearce Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I agree with all the votes for moulded. My GT6 has sewn ones and they don't fit well, shfit and ruck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougBGT6 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I've been looking for a while. Although they fit I've yet to find moulded sets in decent quality carpet. The colours are also limited, I want chestnut but nobody does it. The luxury sets however, right colour and good quality. I'm confused about comments regarding the tunnel, my carpets are original and just sort of drape over the tunnel, not too hard to duplicate I think. As to the loose carpet moving about, use carpet glue.The only problem with loose carpet, for a GT6 anyway, is the wheel arches, curved in two planes. I can't see a way to do it other than to cut the carpet and I'm not sure how well that would turn out. Mine aren't badly worn, just faded, I might just leave them and dye them to match the new set. But enough about me! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGC Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Ive just finished fitting a Newton Commercial moulded set and am very pleased with the result. Good fitting instructions too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constantinos Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 The majority votes for moulded and from my experience seems to be the best. I also had very expensive carpet set, but the corners were not precise, some dust, dirt or any small items, even coins etc seem to get hidden under the carpets anywhere in the Car. The carpenters although know their job, in reality they are unaware of the tunnel's function, and even the fact that in order to change clutch set you need to take the tunnel out. :-/By the way i got a price quote from moss but seems that the set they offer..http://www.moss-europe.co.uk/carpet-kit-black-moulded. but i don't know the difference in quality. Any thoughts?http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-RL1534BLACKLIST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougBGT6 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Uh......So why did you ask the question? :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constantinos Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Cause someone's(i mean myself) own experience is not enough, the advice of others who do own the moulded is a great help in deciding at the end what to do. Personally, now i feel more secure in buying the moulded set, than before posting this subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
