I reckon the closest you'll get is marine carpet but there'll be a tinge of another colour for obvious reasons. No-one does pure white automotive
for the same reasons. Happy to send you pics if you like.
Cheers

If you have an old set to use as a template maybe try a few carpet stores, they may know of somthing suitable. Buy what you need off the roll cut it
out and take it to a trimmer to get the edging sewn in.
I did it with black marine carpet this time but I did the sewing myself. Next time I recon I will go to a carpet place and get some really nice plush
stuff.

i have thought about felt and velour even like wool blanketing but i was wondering how they go and wear. i was worried about it looking like crap and
going bobbly and pilling. i suppose it is just the matter of trying a piece.

Being a trimmer as well I have never seen pure white automotive or marine carpet. I wish you luck I cannot think of any other suitable product.
If it's not in a Vee Dub I'm not going!
