Custom Carpet for 412?

Post by Denver412 »

Hello,

Soon I will post pictures of my 412 so you can see what I am dealing with on putting it back together!

Do any of you have a source for new custom carpet for my 4-door sedan? Mine was mint but got very damaged when I removed it to have the body dipped and repainted.

Thanks!

I've got an new one for a 411 (aftermarket, not original), but I don't know if they also fit in the 412.
I don't know if you are interested? I can make pictures of it.

I'm pretty sure this isn't exactly the real carpeting for the whole floor but an aftermarket extra to cover the original carpet. The original carpet had one-piece rear mat, and the set pictured, doesn't have the piece that goes between the front seats either.

But if you have an original carpeting in your car, this would be a nice period extra! I'd love to have such as my car is a basic model with rubber mats.

Sorry, i remembered incorrectly. This pic shows that the rear carpeting was indeed made of separate pieces. Only the basic models with rubber floor mats had one-piece rear carpet. But the carpet between the front seats is still missing from the set vonkr is selling.
Carpeting is quite often available at the german ebay so you could buy this perfect set from vonkr and buy the missing piece second hand from ebay.

Yes, you're right. That piece is missing. Probably because that piece is normally not damaged,
and relative expensive to produce.

On this moment a complet (used) set is for sale on a dutch internet site:

You can still order these sets on www.automatten.nl
You can even choose the color of the mat and also of the border of the mat.
Of course the page is in Dutch, but if you need help, please ask :D
