Hi Guys i have just started to remove my carpet in my GU for replacement and thought u guys might be interested.
I have also bought a ARB CKMTA12 - Maximum Performance On-Board Aircompressor which i am going to mount under my seat it.
The carpet and sound proof underlay i have bought is brandnew and doesent have any cut outs so i will be making all the cut outs my self.
So this is a pic of what i have done in 3hrs yesturday and will continue to do throughout the week after work.
Here is my progress so far looking good just a little slow as limited time after work
Looking good so far mate, yeah just take your time and no rush...Keep us updated!!!
Just to let you know guys that once you cut your passenger or drivers side front underlay the left over piece fits the opposite side
And i purchased the carpet and sound proof underlay from all car carpets here is there link if anyone is intrested they are quiet cheap and really good quality

I'm thinking about mounting the same compressor under the passenger seat too. Keep the pics coming, looking forward to the final result
2011 CRD with a bunch of stuff bolted on
I have finished half the cars underlay now i just have to go and get some quick grip to glu the underlay down in a couple of sections so when it comes time to install the carpet it can be done with a bit more ease as the underlay moves around a bit and also sits up a bit
Just one other tip when removing the old carpet and underlay - the old underlay likes to stick to the floor i found using a wire brush lightly it removed it with ease

Well guys when i removed the back section of carpet i found a substancial amount of engine oil under the carpet and as i found out they knoced over engine oil in the back so i had to do a bit of a clean up then i fitted the rest of the underlay and have started making my brackets for my compressor. i would have had alot more done on the weekend but were circumbed to food poisoning but any way this is where im at with this at the moment
The first photo shows how much of a mess was under the carpet least therre is no rust
Second photo is just to show how clean it come up
Third is all the underlay in position
Be carefull with your carpet. I pulled mine after windscreen leak and replace all the underlay with closed cell foam so it could not soak up water. The problem was after cleaning the carpet it shrank as it dried. Not by much but I really had to pull to get the clips through the hole along door skid plates. If I did it again I would have refitted it still a lil wet and let it dry in situe. 2Yrs and the bastard still has not come back to size.
YOU CANT POLISH A TURD.... BUT YOU CAN ROLL IT IN GLITTER.
Thanks skull i will keep this in mind for the future i am replacing every thing the oil has screwed everything up
Sorry for the delay guys but hear is the finish of the carpet and compressor installation
For the front section of the carpet it needs to be cut in half ( Photo 1 )
Once cut in half you then lay each section onto place and start marking it up for installation ensure that it is in the right spot as once cut there is no going back.
