What is the best underlay and carpets to use for my 88 mini?

Websites, places, people, prices...........anything would be useful.


Thanks in advance.

The best carpets are the moulded carpets made by newton commercial - There about £120 a set though.

They have some thin underlay bonded to them directly, you can add another leyer of felt from the same company though if you wish. The moulded carpets are definitely the best but they don't fit directly in and will need a little trimming around the edges. Commonly where they haven't been cut right by Newton and you can see the intended cutting lines pressed into the bottom of the set. Good luck trying to get Newton to admit this though (despite what they said in Mini Mag this month), I just had a bit of a nightmare with Newton a month or so ago.

This is not injection specific.
