The initial set of mats have arrived. General feeling is that they are of good quality, stitching is sound and visually they look the part. Really like having the Turbo logo facing outwards near the sill. Front mats are supplied with gripper that fixes to the carpet underneath. You get two, so either good fixing for just the drivers mat, or single one for each front mat. Only criticisms are that the rear mats are slightly too long and there is a cutout on the drivers mat at the rear outside edge. I'm guessing these both indicate they are sized more for Montegos than Maestros. The downside (for many I'm sure) is the cost. Its £112.45 + postage. If we can get more than 10 orders, then the cost is reduced to £106.20.

Combination of the two is probably the best answer. As soon as I have heard back from the company I am dealing with, I'll post any information here.Originally posted by Andy View PostLeave a comment:

I would be interested but I would like to see the design first.
Are there any pictures of the mats made by Matthew Semple?Leave a comment:

Would these be a replica of the original mats availble from the dealer or a made up design?Leave a comment:

I'd be interested if we could get some ones done for Efi/2.0i owners (using Efi or 2.0i script in place of Turbo)

Turbo Car Mats
I think I have found a company who could make a full set of reproduction mats at reasonable cost - assuming I could get 6 or more owners willing to buy a set. They will be different to the ones that Matthew Semple produced a while ago, in that the heel pad on the drivers mat will be bonded black plastic rather than a red plastic pad glued to the mat. I am also looking to get the Turbo script applied in red to the rear edge of the drivers mat, again instead of the embriodered badges that Matthew used. If anyone is interested (and these will be suitable for both Maestro and Montego) please let me know. The more sets ordered, the lower the cost.
