Title: New Mats
Post by: Omega32E on 04 December 2011, 14:05:30
Just purchased some of these

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330636102789?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Seems a big drop in price I know but thought I would give them a go as there where no mats in the car when I bought it, will post again once they are here.

I need new mats too, though the ones I have will do until after Christmas. I think you can still get GM ones, but for some reason they do not have holes for the fixings, except maybe on drivers side. Suppose you could always 'punch' them yourself?
Be interested to see how good these ones are, so look forward to your next post  :y

I would expect them here Tue Wed Thur so will see how good they are for the money, will post a couple of pics. They are supposed to have the proper retainers to hold them in place so hopefully they wont slide about.

Last time I checked, about 12 months ago, you could still get them.

This may or may not be the part number for the retainers: Part Number 90397444
Sure somebody could verify.

How much are the Vx mats and are they available with TC discount? I need a pair for my car and would really like something that does not slip and slide all over the place. At not too exorbitant a cost.

Not sure about the price from VX but I think they are up near the 50ish mark :-X

50ish is ok particularly if it comes with clips as well. Last i heard it was more like 80ish.

They have arrived today:

(http://www.myalbum.co.uk/Photo-SSMT4CZE-D.jpg)

Delivery 10/10
Quality  6.5/10
Fit         9/10

They came with one fixing retainer and a hole in the center of the drivers mat for the retainer to fit into, the issue here is my Elite has two retainers either side at the back of both front mats. No great problem really but will need to lay my hands on some more plastic clips.
So far as the quality, they are not the best but they do fit well and for the £15 inc P&P I'm not complaining. However if I had paid the original £29 + P&P I would not be so happy. The backs look like they will grip ok without sliding but time will tell.
So a cheap set of mats that fit well will do the job of protecting the carpet and look reasonably smart, just dont expect the best.

Hmmm. I suppose at that price you cant complain.

Where is AndyC when you need to find out the price of Vx mats?  :)
