Hi

This weekend I am planning to fit new carpet to my mini. I want to do a decent job so that it doesnt look shabby. Does anyone have any tutorial or guides on the best way of doing it? I am going to lay insulation underneath and the carpet I have is precut and has beaded edging.

I would be grateful if anyone could help

Thanks

If its all precut you should be fine on the fit

To realy help things take out the front seats
>
Undo the bottom bolt for the seatbelt on the inner sill and fit this bit of carpet first
then re fit the bolt
>
If you have them fit the bits that go over the seat cross member
>
Remove the two seat belt things that are bolted to the rear floor and fit the rear carpet
and re fit the seatbelt things
>
Next fit the front wheel arch bits followed by the bit that goes behind the heater (might have to remove heater :sad: )
>
finaly fit the front carpet and replace seats

HTH

Is it worth Buying carpet fixing clips to fit the carpet?

I never used them just taped it down where needed

one thing i forgot when you fit the rear carpet also remove the long hook that stops the front seats fron tipping

fit the carpet and re-fit, this way it stops the carpet from moving
and looks neater
