Carpet

[cbrown1469]

Had a go at making my own carpet. Did it all in one piece and it took a week to tease and coerce into shape. Also cut some protective mats from the off-cuts and had the edges bound in black. Coloured some very tired and cracked door handles in black and fitted new chrome inserts. Also refreshed a horible old tan console and cap in black. I thinks it looks fairly respectable now..... Would welcome your views folks.

First and last pictures are the "before" and the middle two are the "after". Sorry, just the way I uploaded from photo library.

That looks great, Craig. Congratulations on a job well done!! Might even be able to see it up close and personal in 2013 as we're planning a family "roots" trip to the Highlands. We have a son and daughter in law living in London and a whole bunch of relatives buried in cemeteries in the Banff, Banchory and Stirling areas.
Cheers,
Bruce
(plus there's always the chance to golf St Andrews again)

What sort of carpet is that?

Believe it or not, it's a regular piece of bathroom carpet (foam backed). It's very pliable and can be put in a waning machine at 40degrees. It's very plush for a car and cost me £18 for 2x3m.... around $25 I'd say in USD.

The plan was only ever ment to be a stop-gap to save some money and not have to buy a carpet from Spider-Point until next year..... I might not bother now!

Saw this on Facebook, Looks really good Chris. I'd wait til these start to show wear before buying new carpets, they look really nice.
