viking Posted July 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 yes it does seem un even, used a **** squirty bottle, and its **** carpet, saying that its not even carpet more like van lining, it has no decent bottom, both sides are pretty much the same looking at that carpet fs i think id need 3 meters so its going to be about £85 with the postage, so its either that of just buy the set from exmoor trim for £136, saying that iv just lloked and there backed up for a few week, and with VAT and delivery it tops out at £180, think i will go for the one you suggested, i will have to have a proper measure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuji Shooter Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 As they make carpet sets for the Defender give them a bell and they would probably know off the top of their head what you need, they may even have an old template. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuji Shooter Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Operation 90 - went well (kind of). Moved it to the drive yesterday before the wife came home. When she arrived she asked who's it was, I said Phil's, I said he could park it here while he sells it. She then said it looks nice, if you want it I will buy it you for your birthday next week, I'll ring him later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted July 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 They do a sound deadening and carpet kit like I got at paddocks. Looks about the same. Think they were £75 each with VAT on Ordered it- thanks Interesting watching with the carpet, I only have rubber mats in mine and have been looking out for a rug thingy to go around the gear box area to keep the normal drone down, I guess thats the county advantage ... carpets Keep the faith, seven weeks will fly by now which show is it booked in for?
