My front carpets/mats don't have the retaining studs referred to elsewhere (either one or two). Is that normal?

Who do you recommend for replacement mats?

[05omegav6]

If your car is a '51 or '02 reg then consider it normal... as a rule, only fitted to late 2002 onwards 2003my cars

Vauxhall / LMF for new ones unless you know a reputable trimmer to make a set. Genuine ones should come with suitable fittings as well

My X Plate '00 year has them

Well whoopdi...kingdo besides that's not a 2002my car...

The carpets from a '51 plate Elite that I fitted with the interior didn't. Since replaced with ones from an '03 CD which did...

They were dropped by the bean counters along with the heel pad... both reintroduced for the final production run iirc

Now that would explain why my 95 did and my 03 doesn't.

Bloody annoying as it keep moving.

A wealth of information the internet/OOF.

On the subject of carpets  . . .    my now sold on  2.6 MV6   '51 plate  had a basic (poor) quality carpet fitted

 But have noticed my "new" '53 MV6 has the same plush carpet as the '53 Elite I have .  Would that have been factory fitted or has someone replaced it ?

Later MV6s probably had the posh carpet fitted from the factory... there seems to have been some up speccing for the final year of production...

Gls gained wood trim, electric rear windows and CD wheels.

Some '52 on MV6s have standard front bumpers as well, although that could just as easily be the result of accident repairs

Got the correct MV6 bumper

  One of the ABS members has details of a car mat maker who does a good job with mats looking like OE items. Does discounts for ABS members. See you at Billing Lagondanet and i will point you in the blokes direction
