What car mats ?

Post by Gazzab17 » Tue Dec 15, 2015 11:34 pm

Hi guys,

Just picked up my C5 Avant tonight and want to buy a set of interior mats for it, ive seen a few sets on ebay but i'm unsure what the proper shape i need to buy.

Could anyone point me in the correct direction please ?

Thanks

Owned a set of these for about 6 months now. Excellent quality and the RS6 badges are professionally stitched into the mat (unlike in the advert photo.) OK, not quite the same as the OE ones which have larger logos but then they're rarer than rocking horse sh!t (and very expensive.)

I found that the rear mats have to be carefully fitted to allow the seats to move over them without catching the runners, and I had to bend the passenger mat a bit to get it to fit the contours of the floor.

I would like a second set for the winter but in rubber...

I need to get some of these because I keep forgetting what I'm driving and I'm getting a crick in my neck from trying to read the seats.

Look at the steering wheel badge then you fool. I LOVE my matts with the rs6 badge on them. Almost as much as my 3 spoke racing steering wheel :lol:

Do you also have an RS6 T-shirt?

No badge on the high spec steering wheels. Only the base model ones.

Don't suppose you could put a close up pic of the badge as on the ebay link they look stuck on and naff. Also of the piping round the edge as some are again, poor quality.

Cheers.

I've totally given up on ebay car mats. It could just be my bad luck, but I find that even the expensive ones are at best back-door mat quality. I wish you could still get OE mats.

No, but I do have an Audi thong that fits between RS cheeks.
