Thanks for all the behind the scenes communications, Luis. I am looking forward to getting a full set for my '66, along with a single bulkhead mat for behind the pedal cluster. Thanks for the willingness to fill in the dimmer switch hole and emulate the ribbed pattern of the mat for those of us with post-65's!
I appreciate your willingness to safeguard my original mat while you use it to get the most spot-on color match to my grey mats - and anyone else that has this shade of medium grey mat.

Sorry to disappoint you Kharon8 but to my knowledge there is currently no Türkis German Weave carpet set available for Ghias. That one in the picture is just a single piece of NOS Türkis carpet I purchased years ago.
But I have to say that it fits perfectly with the Malachite floor mats and rubber inserts. Designers at VW surely had an eye for delicious colour combinations – especially during the early 60’s.
Unfortunately, my camera is not able to catch all those amazing shades of green and turquoise.

Ooh, these look good. But a quick question: Where did you get türkis carpet set?
I was looking everywhere (AFAIK) last autumn and nothing, so now I have charcoal set for a light blue '63, while the combination you have, would be better.
Malachite rubber wouldn't look too bad on charcoal either, but as long as the carpet set isn't installed yet, I could buy more correct one and sell the set I have now.

Finally received them, thanks so much Luis!

PS: any advice on how to store them (Let’s say around 2 years   ): rolled as they came? |
Storing them FLAT would be advisable

Just got notification that my mats, which I ordered in November, are on the way. If they are as nice as the ones I got for my lowlight I will be happy. You can order with Luis with confidence.
Thanks again Luis for stepping up and doing this!

Good job !!! |
Just a thought - for those with the means to do so you might consider buying an extra set of the floor mats while Luis is in production. It'll accomplish two things - giving you an extra set to keep in mint condition, and help Luis with some additional product sales and revenue. |

Glad to see this thread pop back up, since I hadn't seen it before. The floor mats in my '66 are all in excellent condition, except for the bulkhead piece behind the pedal cluster. Also, mine has the dimmer on the turn signal switch, not the bulkhead, so it doesn't have the left side hole. Can someone buy just that one pedal/bulkhead piece?

This is strange when you charged for shipping at the time of the order of the mats.

You are correct, shipping is paid for.
The good news is that I'm shipping as many boxes as I can, tomorrow I will ship 20 boxes!
That comment was just a suggestion, as funds are tight because I had to buy more material than I needed, as the supplier had to make a special batch for me.
From the last post the following sets had been fabricated and curing:
R676463304
R485865872
R780888635
R689676401
R453847294
R224551594
R435653870
R401365972
In the next few days, all orders will be fulfilled!!!!
Kind regards,
Luis |
Any time frame on new orders?
