    As long it is enough for my car! :) Actually the shipping cost seem like they would be better for what ever he ordered. After he made a set he could provide feedback???

    Good news, i've started to send out the first (EU sized) carpets!

    Before i continue with shipping out US sized carpets i would like to really make sure that the size is correct, so would need a volunteer who could install the carpet after receiving it, before i continue shipping.
    Based on the order list that would be 2Dinos, DSTP or Jack-the-Lad? Any volunteers?

    Happy holidays everyone!
    Adrian

    Adrian, I was going to send my complete US carpet set to Al so he could cut from the originals so is this still necessary? Cheers, John

    Adrian,

    Thanks for all your efforts to make sure of the best possible outcome. My car and I will be about 500 miles apart for the next couple of months, or I would volunteer to do the test installation. I hope someone else will be able to help.

    I really want to make sure i got this right regarding the size/space of the US carpet before i send out the remaining pieces. So would be great for peace of mind if someone can do an US pattern with the carpet i send and check if all is going fine.

    Hi Adrian,

    Back from vacation - Happy New Year's everyone

    Unfortunately with the onset of winter I’m unable to take the car to upholstery shop and furthermore, recently moved to another state and know of no one to help with the trunk carpet. I think Kiwiokie’s (Johns's) idea of sending his set to Al would be a great start, where Al could verify the size requirements and assuring the pattern direction is correct, it does seems like we are trying to squeeze a lot of patterns on a small sheet and expect no errors? I do hope all the US versions are the same? Uncertain if Kiwiokie (John) would be willing to send his version to compare with my car?

    Hi Adrian,

    I think what you are asking is easy enough. I would want to start the install as soon as I received them, and I would check them by laying over the existing pieces. My carpet is non-original, made form the pattern of originally installed ugly dirty carpet. I would be happy to see if this matches what I have. The risk being that my pieces are not correct now. But I believe they were made with enough care to be correctly patterned off of the originals.

    What is the shipping cost to the US? Please feel free to PM or use my email.

    Warmest regards
    Bruce

    I sent Adrian a PM a week or so ago and have not heard back. Does anyone have an update on the status of the carpets to be sent to the U.S.?

    Thanks.

    Thanks and best,

    I know you have painstakingly found the best supplier for the trunk fabric. I found this video of a guy who makes Porsche floor mats with very similar pattern as our trunk liner. Perhaps this could be another avenue if there is ever an issue.

    Gentleman no need to worry about Adrian he is as reliable as they come. This project, is however very much secondary to his regular job so a little patience is required and it is important to remember that the carpet production is very much a cottage industry and not a regular business. Hopefully this will put some minds at ease. I have dealt with Adrian for years on ignition related projects and cannot vouch for him enough.
