    Does anyone know what color the carpet in the truck should be for a red 1975 308 GT4? My car was originally white and has blue and black sisal carpet in the trunk. It was repainted red and I want to change out the trunk carpet. Thanks!

    Thanks. Perfect for a yellow car. I wonder if it is red and black for a red car?

    Same on red cars. I believe the trunk color is a model year specific thing, not an exterior color thing.

    few were a black/blue - Not sure if this was specific to Euro cars or 208's. Just seen a few....

    ‘77 US model, black exterior, blue/black trunk carpet.

    For the OP, Adrian in Germany had a group buy for GT4 trunk carpet that he had reproduced a few years ago. IIRC it was determined that there were 4 color variations over the GT4 production years. The 20 page thread may be of interest to you.

    The carpets Adrian researched and had made are now available form Stefan at dinoparts.de. I bought some black and tan ones from him end of last year. My 78 euro car is dino blu and research I did some years ago showed the original carpets for my car to have been black and tan, though they had long since disappeared when I bought the car six years ago.

    In the original Adrian thread there was talk of a red/black set, but I don't know if he ever found a satisfactory color match. As Francis said, DinoParts is probably your best (only?) source these days. Oh, and be prepared for some sticker shock... the trunk liners have been unobtanium for a long time.

    Incidentally, I still have to fit mine though in lockdown I have stripped out the existing black carpet. I have been reading some stuff in the 206/246 section about what went between the carpet and the floor. Whether original or not I am considering using an offcut of some insulation material I used on my engine compartment bulkhead (replacing the original rotted stuff) as an intermediary to try to lessen the heat coming from the exhaust box below. Any thoughts on that?

    My Argento 76 UK gt4 has this colour boot carpet. It also has a Blue interior. I suspect that the boot colour matches the interior rather than the exterior colour.

    I think you are probably right Patrick. My car was originally beige interior though now crema leather since 1990.
