I'd be keen to know how you get on as I was looking at this same set for my RHD UK 323i too. Keep us posted Reck.
Will do mate, should be able to let you know in January after some other bodywork bits and pieces are done.
Sounds like a good, positive result. Looking forward to seeing the pictures of it fitted.Reck wrote: Wed Dec 11, 2024 11:30 am Ok, the carpet is good quality - nice and thick, and for the most part fits quite well. The only area it doesn't really fit well is the driver's side wheel well. It seems a little too long and will need at least 15CM trimming from the top end. I'm not sure if this is a manufacturing/template issue or whether it's because my car is RHD. No photos yet but I will share these once I have them.
I think you are correct Jeroen - both sides are out of sight in any case, so it doesn't really matter after it's fitted anyway!Jeroen wrote: Thu Dec 12, 2024 11:52 am Well that was to be expected imho, passenger side is longer as the carpet runs towards the rear of the glovebox whereas the drivers side has the pedals and lower cover to deal with, so you won't be able to see after all is cut and fitted? The part you need to remove can be used on the passenger side, but that's probably out of sight already.
Hi Kam - I wasn't charged any import tax interestingly. I am not sure if it was already covered at ebay checkout or something? In any case, the total cost including delivery was 386EUR.kam wrote: Thu Jan 09, 2025 2:26 pm A couple of questions if I may, how much did it end up costing you, purchased, shipping and UK import taxes?
And did you use the original carpet underlay ? If not, keen to hear what you used.
Cheers,
Kam
Thanks for the details Reck, much appreciated. Waiting with baited breath for the photos on how it turned out as I'm looking to do something similar later this year and exploring options, and this could be a decent cost effective solution for what I need too!Reck wrote: Tue Jan 21, 2025 9:40 amHi Kam - I wasn't charged any import tax interestingly.

I didn't use the original underlay as mine was falling to pieces, especially the foam sections. I used dynamat in some different areas - the footwells, back seats, inside door panels and on the read arches, then just glued the carpet straight over. I don't think this is as soundproof as factory, but it's good enough and better than what I had before (no sound deadening or carpet at all!!).
