Need a new carpet in the S, as the existing one is knackered!

Best place to get one and prices please

Cheers

I would imagine Honda would be quite expensive.

Your best bet would be to contact Garage R as they are always breaking S2000s, or put a wanted ad in the FS forum.

HTHs,

Nick.

New JDM mats may be the cheaper option as they come in four parts and cover a larger area.

Have a look on Ebay or get someone on here (Chris) to give you the parts code so you can go to your local stealer.

If they don't suit your needs, Garage R is the best bet IMO

there are 2 carpets

it'd be cheaper to carpet your car in axminster than buy a new one from Honda

circa £300 a side IIRC

The weave of an Axminster carpet is designed to allow for many colours to be incorporated in the design ( Wilton weave usually restricted to 3 colours max ).
Wilton carpet was standard in most pre and post war Rolls Royces and Bentleys.
Both these carpet options old technology & expensive as most have high wool content.

Modern day carpets are tufted not woven with tufts glued to backing cloth and made from man made fibres for high wearability and ease of cleaning.

What is required is a high density short pile plain carpet which many car retrimmers/re-upholsterers can supply but usually only in black.
A good carpet retailer may be able to source a suitable good quality man made tufted carpet in the right colour that is suitable, but be prepared to fair price.
