That's cheap

I'd be looking for a carpet whipper (someone that will whip the edges of carpet). Find some decent quality carpet off cuts to make rugs. Lots of carpet suppliers offer this service.

I think you'd be able to buy a carpet whipping machine for the cost of a mat.

They're showing a right hand drive mat for the front right but it's €367 and without the c on the end - it's intended for 19/98-11/00 models so probably subtly different colour edging or something, although the Tradition side lists it for all models.

http://trshop.audi.de/konakart/Selec...VER&model=0001

The passenger side mat that matches the part number you've given is 4d2863709a 37c

Same deal for the passenger side:

I'd need convincing they've got the part details right, as if the pictures are right the parts look completely different colours!

Do your codes mean the colour is Aqua blue? Is that a pale blue-grey?

I'd be looking at third-party mat suppliers who cut to shape from patterns. I've bought mats like that in the past and they've been pretty good.

Given the various colour (mis-)matches in the interior I've given up worrying about this as long as they look OK.
After all, carpets are on the floor (and get dirty) so a slight shade difference won't be noticed.

I guess you could get a light one and colour it somehow?
Just one example (not a good one?): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Deluxe-Car.../190705102953?
There are loads of these suppliers and they just cut to a computerised pattern when you order and stitch the edges.

It's an odd colour. I guess there is blue in it somewhere....





I'll see if I can get amid-grey mat instead, that'll do.

Phil, before buying something off ebay check out these guys who are local in Horsford.

http://www.sergentsautotrimltd.co.uk/home.html

They maybe cheaper than Audi. It's worth a visit to them.

They don't look cheap! I'll get in touch, but car mats for an old Audi may be beneath them
