Carpet colour in my GU?

[mudski]

So I have ripped out all the carpet in my U as it stunk like wet dog from being wet for way too long.
Going to order new carpet but what colour would you call it? Mines that light brown colour that come out in just about every '02 ST. Don't think I have actually seen a different colour interior in this era.... Anyone with the same year as mine, give or take, will know the colour. Mine that old and dirty I really don't know what it should be...
This is the mob I'm thinking of buying from...

Going by their colour range, I'm thinking the buckskin but maybe too light in colour...

Buckskin is a colour Holden used to use years ago, my 79 Torana has full Buckskin inside, i just went and compared it to my 99 GU with sandy/beige trim (trim code K), if your GU is the same colour carpet as mine, then its waaaaay too far off mate.

Id suggest you look around for some second hand carpet from a GU, it will look and fit better.:thumbup:

have you thought about vynil instead of carpet much easier to clean but then again it doesnt look as nice

I like the idea of vinyl but where do you get it from

[93patrol]

i knew i spelt it wrong just too early in the morning over here, motor trimmers should be able to source it or you could get it off nissan as the DX models all came out with vinyl flooring could even try the wreckers

Sandgrabba do full rubber replacements for the GU,
@ Mudski as for colour you'll find they just do basic colours these days, light tan, brown grey, black etc
Nunawading carpets haves pre moulded to suit the GU,
Check on Ebay plenty

There are a few carpet dealers On eBay, I've seen one who does vinal I think..
Why not go a black or darker colour?
Two tone and it'll hide the spills better.. :p

No I haven't thought about vinyl and never will. Yuk! Sorry...
Was a bit pissed yesty and though my carpet was a light brown or beige. Looking at it today I'd say it's grey...As Kellen has said, I might even go a dark colour to hide the dirt better.

Come on John. I know I drink a lot and do have a chuck every now and then. But do you think I need a full rubber floor? Lol. The only two carpet joints I can see on Fleabay are Knox and Allcar carpets in Lilydale. Did a google on Nunawading and ll I got was Caret Court.
So rubber and vinyl are definatley out. Carpet is a must. Just the colours on the two on Ebay are real flash.. Plus finding a second hand carpet from something of this age will be impossible. They will all be efféd by now. And all the wreckers in Melbourne want more than new for their stuff these days.

Thanks mate. I will contact Tru-fit. Come to think of it. I do remember using these guys about 20years ago when I had my Sandman Panelvan. Gawd I loved that car.....
