I was editing while you posted. If you have black leather then its soul, not swing.

I have some mid-grey front mats that I got a while back, possibly from The Laird, that have seen little use in practice and I could let go.
Let me know what you decide you need, though I think these are more Platinum.....

You would think that I'd reminder my own cars interior colour correctly 😨
I got my music style/dance names confused there! Do the colour names all have musical references? Soul? swing? twist?

Pretty much, with a couple of exceptions:

Soul - black
Swing - dark grey
Twist - beige
Blues - blue
Jazz - ?
Tango - ?

then
Aqua - blue-green
Platinum - light grey

The dash and door tops in a Twist car are Swing grey

No idea what Jazz and Tango are. Paging IT...

Thanks for the offer, really looking for the very dark grey

Brian have a look for the original rubber mats, they are very black and look great
I got rear ones from the dealer maybe they still have some, the front ones were harder to find had to get them off ebay. I'll have a look for part numbers.

Front 4D2061501A 041
Rear 4D0061511 041

This is how the rear ones look

Cheers Goran, I have rubber ones I use in winter, I like to swap back to the carpet ones for the summer, I did that yesterday and noticed the drivers mat is looking rather tired. TBH I would only need the drivers one as the others are OK

Probably not really what you're looking for Brian but, just to add to the options, I ordered a set of these (in black) a week or two ago:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Cust...837833052.html

(Purple anyone? ... or what about a nice red one to complete Stephen's car's interior?)

Supposedly custom made for a RHD D2, but we'll see. Even if they're a perfect fit, I fully expect them to look dreadful. I ordered them more out of curiosity really but I'm hoping they might look better than I'm expecting. If the tracking info is correct, I'll have them by Wednesday.
