267 New RV8 mats Roger Aldridge (Oxford Blue 1722) from Berkshire needed some new mats but found they were NLA so he found a source for remanufactured mats. (July 07) As most members will know RV8 floor mats are now NLA and, as mine were somewhat the worse for wear, I decided to get some made instead. I took my original set to Autostyle.co.uk who are in Hungerford and they were able to make me a set for my RV8 at the same price as an order from their internet site, £60 plus £5 for a heelpad. I am very pleased with the quality and fit of the mats, they are very well made, good quality carpet with a non slip backing and fixings. The fit is perfect. I choose their beige colour which is lighter than the original MG Rover mat and is about the same colour as the vinyl in my car, therefore it is a little light but the binding is dark brown and they look fine in the car. Autostyle do other colours including black, and will send a sample if you are not sure. They can also do motifs (but not “MG”), so you could do “RV8” I guess. The mats arrived by courier five days after I dropped off my original worn set and they even returned them. If you are interested you can order off their website www.autostyle.co.uk but you will see it does not |
 RV8 mats made by Autostyle in a beige colour which is lighter than the original MG Rover mat and is about the same colour as the vinyl in Roger's car. (Photo: Roger Aldridge) show dark brown binding but it can be done on request. My car is a reimported Japan spec car with aircon and I am not sure if my passenger side mat is the same design as for a UK spec car. However Autostyle will manufacture to a paper template. I should mention that I have no relationship with the firm. Copyright
