Hey guys,

 

Just had the trimmer around to get started on the interior and he made note that my carpets (knox) are plush pile as i wanted the new softer feel but my door trim (winners have the classic loop on the door pockets. They look a bit silly up against each other and don know if it'll bother me once installed. I don't particularly like the classic from the few photos i've seen of it.

 

What did you do and has anyone got photos of plush up against slr door trim with classic loop?

I had the same in my hatch, you don't really notice it.
Unless your OCD inclined, I wouldn't worry. However when you vacuum that plush carpet it'll clog up your vacuum with fibres the 1st couple of times...

These probably aren't the best photos, but you can't tell from these...

I reckon the plush carpets are too thick and rigid. The classic is much softer and moulds to the floor better.

I've got classic for my XU1, only because it's correct, otherwise I would've used the plush I reckon. Also the classic is like twice the price...

So who does a good and reasonably priced Classic loop.  I was thinking Knox as well.  Any other recommendations?

I'm sure Knox are the only ones that do the classic.

Just got mine from Knox, one section had a join line in it.
I rang them and they happily sent a new rear section.
Good service and the classic loop is a much nicer carpet than loop.

Presuming the loop pile is the same as the classic loop pile then.
