You can't buy molded 2 piece carpets in the UK, but you can get them in Australia.

I've contacted these companies in the UK and Alpine West Midlands also sell them. My only worry is they come in 11 to 15 pieces and look like a right pain to fit correctly.



How about buying some black carpet and making a set? If you have the old ones it would be easy, even without it shouldn't be too difficult.

The screens I needed were for the Typ 43 100 and 200 unfortunately.



Ahh, no wonder you had to go for specially made - expensive but at least they could do them

Hi andyb. Just read your want list in more detail. Pity I see you got Workshop Manual - club has a no. at reasonable price, but looks like you're sorted on that.
Have s/steel top drivers door trim I think and H120 definitely bootlid. PM if you want more details/cost etc. Cheers. G.

My GLS does not have overdrive and I was thinking about retro fitting it. Is it worth doing?

As regards windscreens you can order one from Pilkington is any colour you want. I have ordered a couple of Audi ones, they cost in the region of £300 inc VAT and delivery. The details are in the current "Cut And Thrust".

jpsh120

let me know how much inc p&p for the g/box catch
im not a big lover of those turbo vec wheels, might go with minilites

i now have a roll cage sorted made to order, i have to drop the car off for a couple of days might as well do that sooner rather than later as the trim is out

again thanks for the ongoing help everyone
most people i speak to are pleased that a fastback will be out rallying
