    RR Carpet or Recommended Trimmer

    Hi,

    I am restoring an RR which needs a new carpet for both front and rear. Does anyone have one, or can you recommend a very good trimmer?

      Rhetorical question maybe, but have you used them?

      I'm guessing I'll have to send them the door cards so that the upholstery on the door pockets can be replaced as well.

      And thanks for the reply!

          Got any pics of the result you could share?
          Scrolled thru your project-thread but there wasn't much of interior showing, lots of other goodies thou, always a pleasure to see that kind of work.

          Also, did you custom-order a specific colour or did you go with the Flint Grey?

                  Thank you! It actually looks better then i thought.
                  Could you say anything about the quality, looks like it has "rubbed off" a bit in some places, some dust piling up if you know what I mean..

                    The quality is good it's just bits of wool where it's been cut in the factory after a good vac all is good no more bits .

                      Glad I looked at this thread. My carpet has melted from battery acid spillage in the rear.

                      How much of the interior needs removing to fit. Seats and sill trim for starters, anything else?

                        I like that. Can you give me details of your order i.e. colour and wool content and I will get the same.
