    Has anyone had custom floor mats made for their mini?

    My mats are quite worn so I'd like a everyday set and a show set but all the adverts you see on Facebook look really cheap and nasty.

    Ideally I'd like a fabric set for everyday and a leather set for shows.

    Thanks for any advice. Mark

    I’ve had a couple of custom sets made in the past Mark with outer edges and stitching done to my requested colours. I also had a set done with my name embroidered into them but when I sold the car I binned them as they’d be no use to anyone else.
    They weren’t too expensive either and the quality was excellent. I now stick to buying OEM mats which I find are more than adequate for day to day and show purposes.
    A set of navy blue with a white / cream trim as show mats might look good though ...
    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    That's exactly what I was planning would like a navy mat for everyday and then a leather with white piping to match the lounge leather I thought would look quite good

    Have you used the same company for all of your mats or have you shopped around

    I've had custom mats made by these guys (there's actually a pic of my car on the site) - http://www.morethanpolish.com/custom-car-mats.asp

    And I would speak to LG Trimming about show mats - some of the work he does is fabulous, check out his Instagram


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    Yeah got all of the fixings but I think it's pretty common for the mats to move around 9/10 reviews usually mention something about the mat finding its way under pedals

    Really? Its happened on both of my minis and when I was working in car sales we often got minis in that had extra velcro on them to stop them from moving

    I used to have the mats move constantly in GP1499 but they’ve not budged an inch in o’er 7 months and 9.5K miles in the R59 JCW.
