Carpet mat fixings swappable?
« on: January 30, 2013, 08:19:15 pm »
I found some cheep mats but they have the stud fitting and my car had twist fitting.

Is there anyway of changing this?

You can change the mats to either one that suits your car I changed my stud mats to suit my car Which had twist fittings I'm sure I bought the parts off eBay but you should be able to take them from your old mats if you have them still I didn't as the car had Arnold Clark mats when I bought it

So can I swap the twist mat fixing from my old tatty mats to the new stud fit mats?

The lugs will break no matter how careful you are. They really are solid as they have 4 big tabs.

I tried and tried to remove my old ones.

Easier to just buy the new ones at £3  :happy2:
