Boot carpet for stripped out rear??

[Meek_racing]

Want to cover the whole rear in boot carpet as a respray will be a bit too pricey atm. Is this ebay stuff any good?

Any other types to look for?

Cheers

Make your own. Only cost me about £30

From what materials?

 

[The Boosh!]

MDF - £12
Wadding £3
Fake leather - £12 for 2 meters.

Draw round boot carpet on the MDF and jig saw it out

Make a rectangle for the rest of the boot.

Easy

how do you fix the mdf down or do you just sit it on top of the metal?

I have some fake leather if anyones interested, its simular to a ph1 dark blue colour. Bought it to mine but ended up putting the seats back in!

Rear bit holds it's self and front uses Velcro.

If I wasn't running harnesses I would have put the split vertically instead of where it is

is the mdf much lighter than the rear seats??

seems a bit strange taking out the rear seats (to save waight) then putin a board of mdf down?? IM of course lol

I didn't take the seats out to make the car lighter. I took them out so I don't have to give the missis" and her mates lifts every where.

It's lighter than the seats and looks better anyway

Hs anyone just carpeted the exposed section? havent got the time, tools or ability to cut mdf and stuff

 

[ipodsandguns]

I carpetted the exposed area with a boot liner i got from Tk Maxx for 3 quid.

A second boot matt from another clio works pretty well rotated 180

Hello there im Dan, i have a 172 cup and only had it about 4 months now and i love it, i done the same thing when i got mine, took the seats out and made a floor with hardboard which i payed about a 5a for, cut it to the shape of the floor and covered it in grey felt.
It looked great and drove around like that for couple months until last week i stripped it down to bare metal in the back with the plans to eventually fit a full cage and bucket seats :rasp: and saturday just gone i got it all resprayed by a good friend from work for the cost of the paint which was 9quid

below are a few pictures for you to take a look at before and after....
