source for carpet?

Post by pappentl »

Glad to see the board is still around, is Peter F still here? I haven't posted for years.

So, I have a new-to-me '80 that badly needs carpet, what are people doing for carpet now? Any good vendors or sources for either molded carpet sets or multipiece sets? TIA.

I bought carpet for the rear shelf and trunk a few years ago from this source:

I've been shopping carpet a bit myself. I haven't done anything yet, but there's a nice selection of
German carpet swatches here that I've been browsing.

my question is how different is the carpet for an e28 than an e12, i have found a source for e28 carpet and wondering if there is a huge difference.

You might search the archives here. IIRC, there is a subtle difference in the floor pan on the passenger
side. It might even be the 80-81 are like the E28, but the earlier E12s are different under the passenger seat.
