Anybody had any experience with Newton Carpet Kits ?
Looks to be really good quality, specially the Narrow Weave carpet.

Does anybody now if they will fit a '71 super, only has options for a "Saloon" which i assume is a sedan, and a Cabrio.

Rang the local supplier today, wasnt much help
Asked if the kits fit a Superbug or just a standard, replied with he cant see there being any difference with the shape of the floor pan and such, so both..

I asked him if the carpets they have fit with the Footrests still in place, i asked this as the manufacturer site from the UK states "When ordering tell us 1) Does your car still have a passenger side footrest plate in front of the bulkhead? 2)Is there a tin plate plate behind the drivers pedals? "

Simple question, yes I have both and would like to keep it that way
He was quite blunt with me saying "How would i know what they have on there site?"
He followed with "I cant tell you anything without one of our product numbers, we have 19 kits available"
I ended the conversation there as I asked him initially because their site doesnt detail or distinguish between one another, only by year and not even by colour...


If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it. Or any advice on carpet kits from CVD ? Same questions as aboth, quality? prefer not to go with them tho as i recieved parts i ordered 5 weeks ago today, and bits n pieces are missing which i specifically asked him if he was putting them in and for a overall price. Same price minus parts... Now have to wait till the 2nd to ring him.

Im really not having much luck lately ... 🙁

hI
it does look like the 70-72 does fit the plates behind the pedals and the plate on the LH side...

The major difference is that the heater outlets are different on different models... 1968- ?? 71..

but I would also presume that NON supers and Supers 1302 could be different in 1971.??? maybe Not..

I know that the seat mountings also changed on the 1303 later Supers..

but may be all the same for Your model.. [1302] in 1970-72...

being the year made and NOT the VW model year..
1971 1302 Supers were made from 31st July 1970 till 1st August 1971 [VW year model..]

Good looking carpet..

cheers

I would suggest order from newtons but include photos of your setup so they can see the exact type.

Got a reply from Newton's
They say that they do fit the Super
But postage is going to be 140 pounds, manufacture is 4 weeks and delivery 1 week
So $550 all uip
