Re: Good carpet mats
Something i've done in the past was use some carpet off cuts and cut them to size
Fair enough if doesnt look great but they are often very hard wearing when it comes down to it.
Im my cars that become dailies i tend to stick to rubber mats, especially genuine ones
Maybe see if you can get a Range Rover set to fit as they are a lot tougher than the citroen ones and more plentiful if they can fit an XM

Re: Good carpet mats
The rubber mats in my Range Rover are about the only things not rusting away on it. I shall give them a whirl Will!

Re: Good carpet mats
Front ones fit, rear ones totally different shape to go round side of RR seats so no good. Shame as it is the rear (under the broken rear window the carpet became damaged) where they are needed.

Re: Good carpet mats
The ones from an L322 may be a better fit Charles but the RR ones have the problem of having a flat rear footwell al the way across the rear where as the XM has a tunnel for some unknown reason. Its not like the exhaust really needs it 
How about some Axminster cut offs instead

Re: Good carpet mats
I actually don't have any carpets here at all! I could cut up one of my Afghan rugs but I suspect a set of carpet mats would hold together better!

Re: Good carpet mats
Carpet tiles would work as they are glued to the backing and very hard wearing.

Re: Good carpet mats
Carpet tiles sound like a good idea.
Bought the carpet mats in my xm from tkmaxx (bit random i know), they're quite hard wearing and very cheap too. Only cost me £7.
