308 GT4 Original Trunk Carpet

Amazing !

 

Adrian, u da man!!! Looks awesome. Thank you for all your effort to make this possible.

Rgds, Mark

 

Question, does anyone have correct sizes/drawings of the EU and US trunk carpet parts?
Based on the spare manual there are 12 individual pieces.

Are there any differences between a series 1 and 2 trunk carpet?

Just received those samples via mail, we are getting closer

Wow. This is looking promising!

 

Yep, i'm quite happy with the first results. The blue one is a reference for the weaving pattern/yarn distance, the beige one just for the color combination check beige/black.

 

great project guys!

 

Update, the two trunk carpet colors have been produced and are in the finishing/cleaning phase right now, after that we'll forward the carpet to a company doing the coating of the backside.

Next step is to plan how much carpet is required for a single set (each for Series 1 and 2 as well as EU and US GT4s).

For doing this (as well as for producing my own set, phew) i need a drawing/data of the exact measures of the 12 individual carpet parts, could anyone please post this info?
My GT4 has a black aftermarket carpet installed and i don't want to use it as a reference as i don't know if the pattern is similar to the original carpet.

 

Adrian, I have some original pieces of for the euro wheel wells I can send you. They are NOS never used perfect for pattern cutting these tricky parts.

 

That would be fantastic, but would it be an option that you cut out cardboard patterns based on the original pieces so we don't risk shipping the rare NOS parts?

Cheers,
Adrian

 

I could do that. I'll PM you, need a shopping address.

 

If you need them my US model has the carpet out of the trunk right now and I can trace templates. Not NOS but looks pretty complete. My car also came with floor mats in the same material so I could do those as well if there is interest.

 

A friend borrowed me a full trunk carpet set taken from a EU GT4, excellent source to create patterns and to calculate the amount of carpet required for a single set.
I'll also have a closer look at the lining for sourcing identical material.

Fave, kiwioki, can you do cardboard patterns of all 12 pieces for the US GT4? That would be fantastic! (kiwioki, your car came with trunk carpet floor mats?)

 

Hi Adrian,

Excellent work with sourcing the carpet , I don't know if you had a chance to look at this website (no affiliation): Dino 308 GT4 Page 108 LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT LID

I'm noticing there are differences in the US series 1 and 2, and potentially another unaccounted piece #29?

IMHO i would suggest running one set of the US to confirm an actual fit.

Also, is there an option to buy a roll of the material?

 

Yes it did in the blue / black jute pattern. Weird huh?

I believe Fave's car is a Euro not a U.S. model.

 

I'm into this in a MAJOR way!!

 

Interesting, thanks, any idea where #29 belongs to? Looks like some sort of cover?

The plan is to supply the carpet as roll as well as the correct vinyl material for the lining.
Al was interested to buy a roll and create sets for US customers.

 

Very! Do you thing they came as part of the factory set?
Can we have a photo please

 

Some more pictures... 1) Two large carpet samples before cleaning/coating, 2) Beige/Black continuation and NOS sample, 3) creating templates based on original carpet, using a traditional carpenters cat weight (just made this up).

Looking real good! Thanks for your efforts on behalf of all GT4 admirers.

 

very nice!

 

Very nicely done!

Robert, will you use this carpet in the trunk of your new gt4?

 

I am hoping so. I also am hoping Al makes sets for the US cars as one of my large panels is stained, and I would buy an extra set also! What Adrian has done is very impressive!

 

Congratulations Adrian

Just to confirm that I committed to buying a blue/black Euro set. Do you need a deposit to help fund your project?
