Hi Guys, weve been requested these for some time now and they will be available in approx 2 weeks. They are a very high quality thick pile (11mm thick ) carpets with high grip crinkle rubber backing. They are available in Red, Black, Dark Grey or Blue.
Four mats per set with real leather binding around the edge. This will be in a contrasting colour. For example the blue mats we will put navy blue leather binding on ,the red mats we will use black leather binding etc.etc
In the corner of each of the front 2 mats will be a very high quality solid stainless steel GTT badge ,with a blue anodised aluminium parellelogram backing . Both parts bolt through the carpet from the rear.-No visable fixings,no glue, and no chance of the badge coming off!
(Its the same '2 piece' badge kit we put on the new GTT Strutbrace.)
On blue carpets (also red ir required) we use a black anodised parellelogram to contrast against the blue pile.
-Pics as soon as we get them made.Prices to follow also.
Best Regards Roland GT Tuning
ps here are some pics of the TT mats we currently produce .The Mini mats will be a higher quality than this being thicker and having leather binding instead of fabric.

Roland,

Nice work!

Regarding the badge used on the mats, would you be able to supply an individual one to replace the JCW front grill badge, perhaps with threaded posts to allow it to be bolted into place?

Also interested in obtaining an aluminium plate to stick over the JCW engine plaque. Just a simple engraved "260".

Willing to pay good money !!!!

Cheers,
K.

[Shorty]

Very nice, and I'm also interested in a badge for my grille.....

[GTT 280]

Sorry Roland - this is turning into an "I want a badge too" thread

Also very interested in the car mats!!

(but do let me know about the engine plaque and front grill badge )

Cheers,
K.

In your first pic, is that Dark Grey or Black
I'm assuming the edge binding on these 2 colours would be black

Don't send me anything until I've got full details of these

Any more goodies waiting to be announced

Hi Guys, TBH the best way weve found for attaching the GTT badge to the plastic mesh front grille is using clear silicon(bathroom) sealant. Fit the Aluminium Parellelogram first ,let it dry ,then the GTT badge. You need to hold it in position for a few minutes & let fully dry before driving. It is very strong. -we can make a stainless steel GTT260 badge for the cam cover.
Best Regards Roland GTT
Back to the floor mats......................These will also have velcro patchs sewn in the corners as per the stock drivers side mat. The pic was dark grey with black binding but we enhanced it a bit to show the badge better.

...and back to the badges .... please PM me with a price for the front grill badge and cam cover. You know what's coming next right? ----- sill plates any ideas on these? again, a bhp branding would be nice here in addition to the GTT logo. (am thinking more of a sticker that can go over the existing sills rather than a solid metal part??)

Need to be carefull in providing these badges to non GTT customers, don't want any under performing vehicles adopting the GTT brand

Oh, and put my name down for two front car mats

Cheers,
K.

I am needing new mats for my MCS - what sort of cost are we talking about for a full set?

Like the others in this post - I'm quite interested in what other new products you'll have coming up in the future?

I never actually said I was interested

Just wondering if I should get my wage paid direct to GTT

[M1OY CS]

HAHA!! that was funny! I feel the same way! my list just grows and grows...

[roland2003]

Hi Guys, OK they will be £85+vat ( set of 4). Oh before I forget, if you are ordering for the Cabriolet let us know as they are a different shape.
We have a sample here now with the thicker pile (not that you can see that in a pic) ,the leather binding and the 'same as original' velcro gripper in the corners of the drivers mat. -I'll put some pics up later of the sample.
First sets will be in by end of next week, so we are taking orders as of now. Shipping (most UK) is £10+vat.
Colours are;- Red, Blue, Grey, Dark Grey, Black.
NB These are seriously nice quality
Best Regards Roland GTT

[ScottieCoop]

£85 + VAT your prices are getting worse than JCW a re they gold plated.

One thing though 11mm thick you say. Have you driven using these mats yet. at 11mm thick it will make for a uncomfortable ankle/ heel position for using the clutch.

I had mats this thick and had to chuck them in the end.

[roland2003]

Note 11mm is to the top of the pile (uncompressed) -its not 'shag' pile
We sell a lower grade carpet set for the TT at £99+vat, so these Mini ones should be around £110+vat. I think £85 +vat is good value. If you want junk quality that doesnt fit,slips,falls to bits, turns up at the corners and has a plastic badge on it ,then thats not what we do. -You can get this at any motor accessories shop .
Best Regards Roland GTT

[roland2003]

Here are some more pics of our sample.
.The third pic shows the velcro that sticks to the discs in the drivers footwell & the bolt/washer method we use for holding the badge on.
Best Regards Roland GTT

Roland, those look pretty nice and I have to agree, you get what you pay for.

[ScottieCoop]

Well you know what they say your only paying for the name.

Is the floor pan in the R56 the same as in the older style Mini. I may have to get a set myself. Can you get them without the GTT badge.

In some cases yes, but I have a pair of cheapies right now that I have had for about a year and they are already worn and ready for the bin. I bought a good pair for the wifes car and they have lasted for over 5 years now.

If you have ever had to deal with carpet, you will quickly realize that the really cheap stuff lasts like it is cheap. I'm willing to bet the Roland bought to good stuff that should last a good deal longer. Unfortunelty for me, I have the beige interior and don't know if the black will look nice or not.

Well I hoover the carpets in my house every second day does that count.

Sure does, it is the same stuff!

When I built my first house, I got a lesson in carpet. Now I prefer wood floors but that is just not an option for my MINI.

Roland, do you have any other color choices?
