Get Wolfsburg West to put a kit together for you if you can Shane. If will ensure you get the right fit as the floor vents moved on different models and you will need to ensure the vent hole cut is where you need it for it to fit correctly.

Make sure they know it's RHD, whoever you buy from.

I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Wolfsburg west site only show the kits that use rubber mats,they dont have basic kits for early beetles with carpet mats like im after,i think getting them to make up a kit with shipping is just not worth it.

Yep. No German square weave and a little thin, but looks nice installed. I stuck underlay to the back of mine to make it more luxious. My2c

Im not really worried about german square weave as long as the shape is good and fits ok,not sure what to do about the heater vents being a early 60s carpet kit going in a oval.

I just got a carpet set from Pierside Parts for my oval.Price was very good even with shipping.It was a tmi kit and the quality and fit was pretty good,but they got the heater outlet position wrong even though i had made a note of where i wanted it.So they are sending the right ones but that takes time.
It was cheaper through Piersde than directly with TMI plus they were slow to answer there emails.

Make sure you get an oval kit, and as mentioned before and Steve just noted, make sure the vents are positioned in the correct spot.

The problem with ordering a oval kit is they dont have the floor mats or the one for the tunnel,because i dont want rubber mats i have to get a 58-67 kit and just put up with the heater holes being wrong.

It was for a Oval ,listed as 10 pc. carpet to suit 54-57.RHD and 3 pc. rear .The fit was good but you have to cut the holes for shifter,handbrake & heater.A bit on the thin side but you wouldn't know if you use good underfelt under the mats.It was less than 1/2 the cost of getting one made locally.http://www.piersideparts.net/TMI34-F1125.html
