Default 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

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.

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

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
Mark

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?

Sheep rustling

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