If you've read my project post, u'll know that my mini is currently getting resprayed silver and purple. At the moment I have a red bootliner! I'm wanting to change it to a purple one, and I'm thinking it'll be cheaper to jus re-cover it than it will be to buy a new one.
But....here's the problem the material that it's covered in isn't carpet, it's been described (by the carpetman in the carpet shop) as being industrial felt like! and I've been told to contact a auto-trimmer? I went into many car shops and none of them had any 'contacts' for auto-trimmers! I just wondered if any of you guys knew where I could get any from, before I start randomly looking through the yellow pages?
this is what it looks like....
this is the front and the back of it, the lower bit being the front!
and then thats me trying to show u how thin it is!
anyone know of anywhere i maybe able to get some from?
cheers,
sian

you could go to any upholsterer and just ask them to match it in purple, they can get absolutely anything
