Tarted Up Footwell

[Flying Scotsman]

Bought some £20 alloy sheeting from B&Q and decided to tart up my footwell ...

Why have you not got the correct colour flooor mats, they look alot lighter than usual or is it the camera angle.

These mats are not standard 172. My original drivers mat wore through under the throttle pedal after 300 miles! ...... quality ....not. My dealer then gave me a new set of Clio executive mats under warranty hence the different shade. However, these mats are very good quality.

E_Lad, that idea crossed my mind but thought it was a bit OTT. Seen a valver on this forum with full metal and it did look pretty good.

it would look good but in the wet i reckon it be a bit slippery!

how thick is it? how much it cost ya?

My mate at work actually bought a 50cm x 50cm sheet of "Cricket Weave" alloy plate from B&Q for about £20 to put a heel pad on his TVR. So I went halfers with him and tried it as an experiment to see how it looked. Its about 2mm thick and cuts very easy with a metal gillotine or hand cutters. I used a joddling tool to crimp the edges. As you say E_Lad it may be a bit slippery in the wet .... that remains to be seen.
