scrappy tomorrow - better carpets in 400/45?

[vinny1979]

im off to scrappy tomorrow for a fish about

did the 40/45 have better thicker carpet than the zs? mine seems thin, im presuming they also had more sound deadening etc under the carpet. i remember my coupe carpet was thick the zs one feels like a bed sheet

ill also get under bonnet stuff and flocked glovebox lid

My 02 has better carpet than mates 04, probably be lucky to get a 400 with decent carpet (due to youngest now getting on for 9 years old) but guess thats even better bet.

If the boot carpet from the 45's fit the ZS's then i'm defo of to the scrappy coz mine has fallen in2 the tyre well!! LoL

the 45 carpets the same, however will still fall in the middle, you should get the toolkit that sits in the wheels not behid the wheel, or boh as i have:D

or a peice of board, works a treat and means you can hide all those little things like bulb kits, first aid kits, reflective waist coats etc that you need abroad as well as tyre inflator etc.

Early ZSs have a plastic channel for directing air to the back of the car under the two front seats.....

My 51 plate ZS has the thicker carpet which I think is the same as a Rover 400 carpet......I took mine out and dyed it black as it was grey :blush:

Now I consider it to be a 'luxury' ZS carpet :D

id like a black carpet, black headlining etc would look the bees knees

[Steves Cleenz]

shame your so far away as i have a full carpet out of an earlier ZS (the quality is better) that is just sitting in my shed and you can have it, was going to do what boot hill said and dye it black as its dark grey and stick it in my car, but just cant be arsed lol

Sounds a good plan, might struggle getting a flocked glovebox that will match the rest of your dash as any i have seen so far are too light:)

[vinny1979]

i may just carpet mine tbh

[Maxxed_Ross]

I had a flocked glovebox to fit in it, but as Gary says the outside plastic was too light and it looked silly

Well worth the effort in my opinion. Looks great and like it was meant to be! :beer2:
