Whilst wandering around Silverstone classic (as you do when you are there for 3 days) I kept being drawn to the autostyle.co.uk stand in the trade village. My car , being a daily driver needs mats, and again, being a daily driver, I don’t want to use/ruin the JDM shaggy OEM mats that came with the car, saving that for the shows!


At the Silverstone classic, the guys at autostyle had decided not to try last years approach of bringing 150 different mat sets, and taking 148 of them home again as they never met the car/colour/grade/edge trim/logo requirements of the customer, but this time just brought carpet colour and grade samples, with various trim/stitching examples. Buying mats over the interweb is a pain as you’re never quite sure how good the high quality OEM standard ones are, and they are usually no better than a normal £5 Wilko door mat!


Anyway, with the carpet samples on show I was quite taken by the dark green they had on offer (I know, more colour co-ordination!) Then I had the edging debate… would green be too much? would black be better? If I go black should I have green stitching, or green with black? Maybe no bother at all…. But the green carpet does look nice! I even got a small seat leather sample from my car to check the colour (no idea why I still have it in the ashtray, but the leather does smell nice!).. pointless really because pretty much any green goes with any green! If it didn’t trees would clash with themselves!


Turns out the green carpet was obtained from surplus stock from Bentley! That’ll explain why it was a better quality than all the rest on offer! So after careful deliberation and a slap from Sarah for dithering I decided on green with green, green stitching and NSX embroidery! £60 was duly handed over and they’d be made to order!


A fortnight later they arrived! I wasn’t disappointed!





with very nicely embroidered NSX legends, the stitching sheen changing with different light angles!





nice! However it does leave me with a slight problem…. These might now have to be my new ‘posh’ set… they are that nice I don’t want to get them dirty…
