nothing holding my mats down - probably why my driver's side one annoys me every time i get in coz it moves around.......grrr

the driver's and front passenger's have velcro, but they still move around...!

the back seats don't get the velcro treatment

step 1) get staple gun - if can't find one of these, nail gun will suffice

step 3) step back and look at ur handy work
step 4) realise it looks incredibly crap
step 5) remove staples/nails
step 6) wipe away tears as now u have holes in ur mats and it looks really shit
step 7) vow never to listen to astra's DIY tips again
optional step 8) plot revenge

*awaits eagerly*

funky_chilli · 02-12-2007, 11:32 PM

i'm too ashamed to post pics sorry - don't want the other boys to laugh at me hahahaha

astra · 02-12-2007, 11:40 PM

i'm game, i will post one when the rain stops...

funky_chilli · 02-12-2007, 11:44 PM

ur gonna post pics of ur car's floor mats? haha

astra · 02-12-2007, 11:45 PM

oh no no, far more special then that... pics of the DIY on floor staples

funky_chilli · 02-12-2007, 11:46 PM

my mats are so dirty right now, u wouldn't be able to see the staples anyway

vinno · 02-17-2007, 07:08 AM

Moving car mats IS annoying.. but my ride now has velcro + a plug that fits into a hole in the mat

In efforts to try and steer this back to the Aero vs M-sport.. i'd go with the Aero for sure.. and ditch the woodgrain.
Man the countdown begins until we go down to Melb and see it in the flesh!

astra · 02-17-2007, 06:19 PM

not ALL wood is ugly...

*goes and cries*

vinno · 02-18-2007, 05:49 AM

Haha I'm taking it someone's got some wood in their car?
I don't actually mind the black wood.. but you know the traditional wood grain.. i'm not a fan but it's just a matter of personal preference

astra · 02-18-2007, 06:03 PM

yep, i have black wood...

docbeemer · 02-18-2007, 06:40 PM

You know the poplar grain grey doesn't look too bad coz it's a kind of dark understated colour. I think it looks sporty and classy at the same time so I got it for my 335. BTW my floor mats also move. It's so annoying. Also, I reckon the AERO kit looks awesome except the rear lip needs to be slightly larger- not much but more than just a thin piece of plastic.

docbeemer - is the poplar grey completely black unless there is a bright light shining on it?

i am not sure what my wood is, but i think it is individual...

is the poplar grey like this? (i haven't seen it in person...)

docbeemer · 02-18-2007, 06:51 PM

No, it looks dark grey but with wood grain. I keep promising danielt photos of my car, so I'll do it this weekend and post them.

astra, you have (i hope) birch anthracite and, yes, individual.

oh, i have that, too!

astra · 02-18-2007, 10:58 PM

ohh, thanks for that! i thought it was an all individual interior

and congrats on having a sexy iterior btw...

so.. astra votes for birch anthracite for interior trim

im_dave · 02-18-2007, 11:39 PM

how do you keep the white leather inserts of your steering wheel clean, astra? mine would be filthy if it were that colour!!!

poplar grey does look pretty cool - well inthe brochure, anyway!
