Which color mats

[bwalvoord]

I am soliciting recommendations for which color/style of coco mats I should purchase. My coupe as a blue interior, but still has the original carpeting which is in ok shape so I'm going to keep it for a while. Here is a pic of the (yet to be cleaned) interior.

Exterior Color?

 

[bwalvoord]

The exterior color is Chaminoix

I have blue/white dot #14 from cocomats.com and really like them. High quality. I have polaris/blue interior.

 

[bwalvoord]

This looks really nice. I spoke with a rep there and he suggested blue/white over blue/natural because of the exterior of my car being white. Thanks for the photo I think this is the way I'm going to go as well.

The other consideration is the color of the carpet - is yours predominantly tan? You may have a clash issue there with blue/white.

Although I have all of the original paperwork related to the purchase of the car, I'm not sure how to tell what the original carpet color was, other than it is not a faded bluish, purple, gray color. I think the blue and white will look the best and since the future replacement carpet will definitely be blue, probably a safe way to go.

I paid $216 for the set of four. They have a very good template from a previous poster on this site. They have a trunk mat which I have not purchased but I believe is another $200 or so.

Like those Cocomats Steve. Mine might be looking even more like yours when I get around to the Mats.

If you're going to replace with new blue carpets then #14 is the way to go for sure.

DeQ: They are custom cut for the car and fit quite well. Full rubber backing and heel pad bonded to the fibers. I got front and rears - not the trunk. They are heavy - and will turn a CSL into a CS! But they add some sound deadening for sure.

Not unless I find a badass Alpina induction rig like yours!

I like the cocoa mats, they look like something used in the 70's

I have a set of cocomats in my e39 and like them a lot. They are somewhat old school, as noted they look more like something from the 1970s, but they are tough and look nice. I went without the heel pad, which means the drivers mat wears quickly. You can replace only the driver's mat, which I do from time to time.

Old school

Pics of how the coco mats looked like in the 70s. Found these ones in a spare box dated late 1970.
And yes, quite heavy with rubber underside

Doesn't match my blue interior, but perhaps could look nice together with brown leather.

Go with the coco mats. I think they look period correct and are very durable.
I went with red and black to match my interior.

Hi!

I ordered new mats from Coco and got an email from them telling me that they have had some discrepancies in the past . To avoid this they sent me a set of paper copy patterns to verify proper installation.
Have any of you had any problems with the adaptation?
