OK, I noticed that my nice red carpet has a hole in it...( blaming the GF and her bloody heels) now I was going to try and repair it but found a breakers that had one for a fairly good price so I brought it..

My question is has anyone ever replaced one before and how hard was it to do..? I am not great at doing things like this and wondered if its worth getting a garage to do it...or would anyone fancy giving me a hand in fitting it...?? I live in Thruxton, hampshire. I would of course palm your hand with silver....or beers etc.

cheers

I've lifted the carpets to insert sound deadening material underneath. There are quite a few poppers and you'll undoubtedly break one or two, but its not too difficult a job.

OK..thats sounds good, I will give it a go then. I got concerned as I thought it might be held in with glue, if its anything like the boot carpet then your right i will break a few clips....cheers

Its worth buying the Honda ESM manual on CD off ebay for a fiver - it shows the full extent of the clips, particularly those hidden in the footwell (just keep unscrewing the big white knob!) and there's quite a few tucked in, under the HU area.

Cos i could give u hand if u like. havent done it before but will be doing it on mine when i strip the interior to put my ice in. its a good excuse to get rid of the pimpy red carpet if i can get a black one cheap enough from the breakers.

where`s thruxton? sorry aint been in hmpshire long!

Hi Tebs,
Thruxton is a small village near Andover, there is a Motor Racing circuit there..I reckon it would take about 30 mins from Southampton...depending on your driving of course..

Just let us know when you are around, I was thinking about doing it maybe this sunday if the weather is good..? but I am flexible on that as I would rather have the help then none at all.

Cos im picking my car up on fri off to london to see spurs play porto on saturday and my mothers over from belfast for the week!

how about the following weekend?

ive heard of thruxton the racing circuit i didnt realise it was that thruxton and it was down here.

ive stripped a few interiors before installing my ice. ive got the s2000 manual but im not sure that will help though. if the following weekend is any good pm me ur number n i`ll give u a call.

btw have u ever fitted a hard top kit to these cars. ive got one coming soon n wondered if u had done that before.
