No there's a good idea.

 

Yes, but I want the factory ones with the nifty secure locks built in, the right color leather round the edges and the carpet weave and texture to match the rest of the car.

No shop here (and we have some very good ones) or on the net has been able to guarantee an acceptable copy, and some of them - if you look up Bentley mat suppliers - are shocking quality discernible even in the low res photos.

Besides, for me, there's something about having copy stuff in an expensive car. I don't buy copy watches or anything else copy for that matter. There's a reason the factory produces the best quality, and nothing else comes close.

I'm only passing on the new mats because I've managed to get them to almost new standard over time, and when I get in & out I avert my eyes

 

I do love the OEMs. I like how the guys at Crewe, Mulliner and Mansory do their interiors. The crafting, leather and stitching are just simple amazing. We only have a handful of good auto upholstery shops here and they are always, always busy.
