Quality car mats

[endorfin]

Anyone know where I can buy some quality cat mats for my XM estate.

I've got the Citroen rubber ones but it doesn't really seem to go with the beige carpetting and beige leather interior, I'd like some matching beige carpet ones. There are 3 or 4 sellers on ebay ranging from £25 to £45 all say they're good quality but no way of telling until the mats arrive. Just wondering if anyone has bought any from a particular seller and been pleased with them?

I assume ones from the main stealers will be daylight robbery.

Thats car mats not cats!

Plenty of room to swing a cat in an XM tho!

Main Dealer Mats won't be available now.

I'm not a big fan of carpet mats, but a friend bought mats from this e-bay seller, and they were very good quality and a nice fit.

If anyone has some rubber mats going spare, even just the drivers one, I'd be interested.

Keep an eye out on e-bay, the odd time proper genuine Citroen rubber mats appear.

Xantia ones are a good substitute if you can find them. I got a set of new Xantia front mats from a local dealer for £20.

Thanks Robert, I did come across that seller but found two others that seem to be selling mats with higher pile weight whatever that means! They also appear to have the fitting holes & clips.

I wouldn't mind keeping the current black rubber Citroen ones if my car had black carpetting but it has beige carpetting and it just doesn't look right. I want the car to look luxerious as well as feel luxerious to drive

I enjoy the luxuriously easy cleaning ability of the rubber mats! I have been brought up with rubber mats in cars, if there are no mats, it feels odd.

Most of the XMs I have owned had grey carpets, only a couple had black carpets, but with the tan being so light, even more reason to keep the carpets clean with rubber mats!

I bought some bespoke ebay mats for £47 for my Xant, but I was so dissapointed on opening up the box. They are about 1cm thick overall, but nothing like the mats my V6 XM came with -these were real plush and heavy stuff. I thought u'd get similar for £47, but I have to deduce what I want is at the £80+ range on ebay

Anyhow by no means buy mats around the £20 mark (like, 5-6mm thick), soon they go out of shape and are only good for the bin. £35+, or go rubber.
