Fitted Leather car mats
 
Just seen these advertised on Facebook.
Could be of interest to some on here.
I am not recommending these as I have not seen any in the flesh.
I also have nothing to do with this Company
They just look interesting and different
Happy shopping :cool:

At the moment I have mats on my mats to keep the mats clean! If I had beige leather mats I think I might have to have even more protection. :ROFL:

They look fantastic, and thats the problem, I would want to put car mats over the car mats to keep them nice! :hammer:

That's a very visually impressive idea!
Although the site says they're hard wearing and "scratch proof' (yeah, use my driveway over a winter and see how they fare!), I don't see them being hardy enough in the long term!

Great to use for a car show though!



On the subject of mats, I have a set of custom rubber mats made by a company in New Zealand called Rubbertree(.co.nz.).
They're a great fit and have correct mounting clips for the factory mounts.
Very hardy and practical for winter, hose clean!

I like the idea of leather mats, but 47p2’s picture reminds me of a Jag XJ LWB I had a number of years ago with sheepskin mats in the back - they were too good to use, and I wouldn’t let anyone sit in the back with them, so purely for show and with a 5 year old at the time spent most of their time in the boot in a polyethylene bag! What a waste of money that was.

Cheers

I enquired about a set for the D2 but they do not have the measurements from the manufacturer so only D3 and newer are available :-(

They said they will let me know if they do obtain them but I’m not holding my breath.

I bought a sheep skin from Ikea for around £8 and cut in in half, threw them in the footwells

My nephew had a Golf GTi a few years ago and threw a dead sheep in the boot. Does that count? :ROFL:

Sheep rustling :eek: :tuttut:

A sheepskin boot liner eh? Now that was never an option on a Jag, but it will start to smell after a while.
