paddynewman Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I have recently emptied the car of seats and the dash... and really noticed how disgusting the current state of the carpet is. Whats the best way to go about removing/renewing this. Being super bodge, air compressor, fabric paint and an afternoon was my first thought But I have a feeling it wont be as nice! Any hints/ideas where to get decent material? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrikbrunt Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 you could just remove the carpet, hose / jet wash it off outside, leave it to dry and then dye in black. i've done 2 now in this way and the improvement is vast.

nasoup Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 keron sent me a nice black one for £150, think thats the best option I don't want to take anything away from keron but doing it yourself, if you have the time, is the best option. Most of the hard work is removing and replacing the carpet, which you'll have to do if you buy a replacement anyway. So may aswell just buy a £20 bottle of dye and diy.

patrikbrunt Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I completely agree with the above... just get yourself a 5l tub of dye from ebay and spend a weekend doing it yourself. Ive done 2 carpets with a 5l pot and still have some remaining! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
