Red Carpets

[Bananalad]

Always loved 205 Gtis with the red carpet, especially miami blue ones.. Anyone ever put red carpet into a 306? Wondering would it look right..

[Matt]

Don't think you can get red carpet for a 306. Unless professionally reupholstered

[Bananalad]

No you cant i was thinking of dying it, i dont think it would suit it though.. I also think its a bit too much 'gti' for my dturbo

[4WayDiablo]

Bet thats a nightmare keeping it clean

[Fozzy]

Ide donate you a carpet if you want to try it?

[declantg]

thats gorgeous, do it!

[Matt]

Surely the black would be too dark to die red. Although of fozzy is going to donate, then do it

[Fooby]

just like your going to respray your wheels? :roll:

[Matt]

Mmmmm maybe I will, maybe I won't haha.


In undecided still as I like the black haha

[Fozzy]

Keep them black matt they look good as they are. Get your bonnet moonstone. Smooth boot job done.

[declantg]

no no no no keep bonnet black

[Bananalad]

Thanks for the offer Fozzy but im a bit far away Been thinking its too dark to dye id want it a really bright red instead of a diablo colour :think: And Matt, black wheels, moonstone bonnet

Didn't red S16s come with red carpets? Just as the blue S16s had blue carpets?

[Jonny b]

No conner for some reason they had grey carpets

[Bananalad]

Yeah i was thinking about the blue carpets put they would be hard enough got and i dont think they would look as nice as red especially in a miami blue car

[Connor]

A blue carpet is going in my Miami

[Bananalad]

I need pictures to make up my mind If ill do anything they will go red i reckon

[kingy]

Blue carpets ftw, took me ages to find one and I gave it away to Gav last week.

[Foxy-jim]

Red carpets would look amazing!

Give a carpet a quick soak in chlorine, it will turn it white in a few minutes, the die it any colour you want, just make sure you wash all the chlorine out

Right sorry to drag up an old post but I have an old carpet from my 1.8 that I want to turn blue!
I'm going to have a go at bleaching it and then dying it but anyone know of a dye that will be heavy duty enough on a carpet?

sounds like a plan! We died our sofa with some blue dye but it was years ago and I cant remember how we did it! I think it pretty much just involved the washing machine!

[Matt]

Right do mine red

[tdbadger1980]

just googled it and come across this guide very tempted to do mine red as well

I've got a spare carpet so might have a go at bleaching it at the weekend then find some suitable dye.
