Carpeting rear of stripped car.

[mikeh]

I've seen a few people have added carpet to the rear of their stripped car.

It seems like it tidies things nicely for me, and I'm hoping it might insulate against a bit of a the road noise for driving to and from track days.

How have people achieved it?

Bought some carpet from eBay, fabricated a template out of card, cut the carpet to size, job done. Of course you can embellish the carpet by adding coloured piping, badges, sequins & glitter or anything you want, but all in all it's pretty simple to make a stripped rear look neat.

Have you got any pictures? How did you do the transition to the front carpet and how did you fix it?

Thanks

Ktec sell them, and they can do coloured piping. Easiest option as it fits 100%, plus it's got a warranty too.

£82 quid though!

It does look nice, but making one from offcuts would be a damn sight cheaper.

I've got the k-tec one, nice and well made, wears well.

But as Mr Dreads said, you can do it yourself for a lot cheaper. I wanted the white piping because I'm a tart.

Pretty sure there is one in the for sale section at the moment

Check out my project thread, I'm sure there are pictures in there.

Ultimately it's secured under the rear harness bolts and the fact that it fits snugly around the contours of the car (which for your info are not symmetrical).

The transition to the already fixed carpet isn't 100% resolved, however, only on very close inspection would you see anything other than that.

Literally has never a truer word been spoken.
