Does anyone have any experience of [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=10376&item=4562505045&rd=1"]these mats[/url]? Or are there alternatives about?

Thanks

Hi,
No haven't seen them before!...Looks like the one in the photo is intended for the 2 seater van version though!
I made the mistake of cleaning my boot mat with a dashboard cleaner cloth wipe!...Everything just slides around now!
Cheerz. :lol:

[Bob-T]

Yeah that's what the add says. I'm gonna buy one and let you know what it's like. Maybe post a piccy.

Looks good.

I have one from a van which is exactly the same as the standard one. It's simply laid over the top of the existing mat to give a double thickness.

It's a cheaper option but probably not as nice as that one. Of course I had to take a Stanley knife to the front section.

I ordered the Multispace version of the mat from the guy on Ebay last night. The firm seems to be well set up with plenty of info in their auto e-mail. I expect delivery of the mat within ten days about the same time as I take delivery of the Bling/Lingo/Bertie.

I have two border collies who just love the country pursuits of rolling in muddy puddles, diving into streams to stir up the crud in the bottom and rolling in anything they deem to be interesting. I'm hoping the boot mat will help to keep the car a lot cleaner and fresher than the one I have now.

I'll keep you posted.

The boot mat arrived today. It was completely rolled up but when I unrolled it it became flat almost immediately and did not retain any curl. It will save the inside of the boot area but I think I will still have to put some carpet on it for the dogs as it's quite shiny. It has a chequer plate pattern and overall I'm pleased with it.

I just used an end of roll/offcut of flooring vinyl from my local carpet shop for my Pluriel boot, cost under a tenner and I had some left to do the hall <_<

Bob,

This question may be a bit "previous" until you take delivery but does it look like it will need cutting for the modubox ?

[Bob-T]

Hi Terry, given that the mat is "made to measure" I may have to cut it if the modubox has a mounting shoe on the boot floor. I'll have to wait and see.

I see that Lidl has a similar trolley for a fiver.

The crucial word there is [b][i]similar[/i][/b]

Having said that, the other relevant word is [b][i]fiver[/i][/b] <_<

[Bob-T]

I've been to the showroom today as my car is now in. Still needs PDI but we've had the "hand over" to see how all the bits work etc.

I've looked at the Modubox and it's screwed/bolted to the boot deck. I would think that it could be unscrewed then refitted once the new mat is in place.

[Bob-T]

Had to trim away the right hand corner of the mat to get it to fit around the vertical fixing post. Also had to remove a small section of the lip to accomodate the inside vertical fixing.

Bob, If you are going to fit the dog guard to the back of the car, you will need to get 2 x tie down brackets from the main dealer. It keeps the dog in place and the guard would be safer for you in an accident.
When I go to crufts, a stall holder sells off cuts of rubber back office carpets which most people buy.

Bought two "Moduboxes" from Lidl today and in my opinion they are far superior to the standard fitted box and @ £4.99 each, a bargain. I spoke to a guy who had also bought a couple who told me he'd seen the same thing "back 'ome" being sold off cheap @ 2 for £20.
