new carpet advice needed

Am i imagining things..... but it seems like your interior (from the photo) looks very tidy and presentable. I, for one, would really like your dash, door cards and seats if you get fed up with them. [:)]
 
thanks but unfortunately photographs lie like crazy.[:D] Its really scruffy now but its going to look great again soon.
So much work.......so little time......[:(]
 
... and so worth it when it is done.

(Keep that in mind. A good 944 on a good road is as close to motoring nirvana as I have ever found.)

hear hear....I think the problem with 944 is they are way too cheap to buy. Because they are so plentyful and cheap we probably under-estimate them. When new they were I think nearly £40k which was supercar territory then. What would £40k be worth today ?
 
Yes Southbound can be expensive, but that's because your paying for master craftsmanship and quality materials, a lot of their stuff is OEM and their work is second to none. If it always boils down to money spent versus value then we wouldnt own these cars in the first place, we're sometimes willing to pay the extra to get the car how we want it, knowing we may never get it back, its what makes us enthusiasts.

Southbound quoted me £595 to retrim the Recaro seat in Porsche OEM leather, which I think is reasonable considering the quality of work and amount of leather used, they will also retrim your gear knob for much less than the £220 new item from Porsche and they look identical, they even have all the different Porsche leather colours from our car.s If you want the factory look it costs ££ and yes you can get it cheaper but it can look tacky and tacky Porsches are the worst in the world...[:'(]

We must stop agreeing on this forum Nick. People will think that something odd is going on.

To that end, I think it's time I changed my signature again. [:)]

[:D][:D][:D] I would normally hasten to disagree with you Oli but I'm too tired lol [;)]
off to hit the sack.
 
It strikes me that we have a classic Catch-22 situation here

Most people won't spend lot's on their cars because they aren't worth much, and the reason they aren't worth very much is because most people won't spend money keeping them look mint (obviously none of us here, I'm talkin about all the other 944 owners [:D] )
 
yes you're probably right. We are very fortunate in the sense that we enthusiasts can afford to buy and run a 'Supercar' because they are still available and very cheap to buy. On the negative side most of us that can afford to buy them cannot afford to restore them to their former glory as a Ferrari or Jaguar owner would . There is nothing else comparable out there you can buy at this price really. I suppose we should look at ownership differently but investment cost and selling prices are always a factor to us because we don't have the financial resources to put the money in thats needed.

Ahh pretty much like mine then, are the tops of your dash dark blue or black? As mine are blue I put a set of cobalt coloured carpets in as its a good contrast.

Where did you get the cobalt set from? I have a linen interior with the navy dash/door tops too and my exterior is cobalt too, so much as I love the cream carpets, your photo looks excellent. Are you coming to Rutland, I'd love to pick your mind on refitting the carpets
