I have called Mike at Holdcroft on a few occasions but has no mats in stock and he has checked other dealerships too, the gear knobs have now sold out but the Prodrive centre caps are still available. Guess the prices on Ebay are going to reflect the scarcity. Supply and demand i'm affraid.

Dammit!

You know what i did to revitalise mine? I soaked them in warm water in the bath with half a cup of vax carpet shampoo in the water for about half an hour. Then I used the shower on it's most powerful setting to rinse them off. You wouldn't believe the amount of crap that comes out. They come up like new, seriously!

Then I bought a set of tailored STI branded mats (which perfectly match the logos on the seats) from Scoobyparts, use them day-to-day in the car and only put the WR1 mats back in for events/meets etc.

Tried a few dealerships and hold croft but they all said they where unavailablewill have to just keep looking,when I bought my car car one off the backs mats is missing.There is no logo on them so I might try getting a set with the blue coloured edging round it.
I have seen the other post were someone is selling a new set off wr1 mats but I would love to buy them but can't really justify spending that much on a set off mats sorry
Thanks for the help reaso :D

High price could be justified if they were actually good quality. Since they are not I would look at getting a custom set made and selling a few sets at the same time.

Like Bro said, get some made. I had some off-cuts of carpet made into mats at home and it cost £20 to finish the edging of a 1.5mx1m mat with good quality stitching.

Don't pay over the odds from robbing barstewards.
