How good are they Alex, are they as good as the originals?

Yes they are BOB on,

I have a LHD one in my bus,

The RHD ones we had made and they are a perfect copy and made of good material too.

You can clearly see these are just a ribbed bit of rubber cut and then trimmed round the edge with Herringbone Polypropylene,

That is nothing like the original matts which had a waffle design on the back of them and were not trimmed round the edge with anything.

Doesn't look very OG to me!

If the Heritage ones are anything
Like the C&C ones they are really
Nice (and a weeny bit cheaper)
Just my two pennith worth!

Thanks guys appreciate your thoughts, vw heritage ones look good so probably go down that route. Anyone got a handbrake release cover knocking around?

True I guess, there not a complete replica/copy, and the price reflects that in both cases! (For 100 sheets Id want it to be an OG one made by VW).... Imo. :mrgreen:

They are still a good matt and he asked an opinion.

The question was: Trying to find something original looking and good quality ANY views welcome thanks people.

Any one would think you were being bias to the VW Heritage ones carrying on like that Alex. :roll: :lol:




Its up to the guy at the end of the day, I just added my input and you yours. 8)

Like anything you pays your money
And you takes your choice
And as we all know there is lot out there
When it comes to Pattern Parts
Some are good some are very good
And some are piss poor
The Better suppliers on here do give
Us a discount also

I ordered a Heritage one yesterday and when it comes i'll compare it to my OG brown one, they do look good though.

Came today and i'm very impressed looks just like my OG brown one and seems very good quality with all the holes in the right place. Lovely smell of new rubber too :msn4:

Thanks for all the feedback early bayers! Took delivery of my cab mat from Heritage haven't fitted it as yet but have to say the quality and look is very impressive damn weighty as well which must mean it will lay well, should have it in over the weekend cab's looking tidy and a nice place to be!
