Acquired a Manta carpet kit
I am wondering if any of the Opel Manta owners would be interested in a
newly reproduced carpet kit? I now have the templete to make them so if there is enough interest I will reproduce this kit for the Opel Manta and 1900 owners. Please email Opel Jim @ usaopel@usa.com If enough people respond I will go into production Last edited by tekenaar; 12-03-2008 at 09:42 AM.. Reason: Title: Aquired |

NOW you tell me. I just had my carpet custom made based on the original one. Haven't put it in yet so I don't know how well it will fit. I definetly think you should produce several carpet kits though, since there aren't really any around for the Manta.

![]() Or you get them from a sewing machine with the edges sewn together. Sorry, just had to do that. I'm under a happy mood right now. Got the registration for Willit? and the monza today. Now they're legal for another year, and if I get my pic taken tomorrow, I can drive for another 4 years.

I would be interested in a molded carpet like the original. I spoke with a few carpet companies years ago who said they'd produce them for me, but I needed to supply them with a floorpan. They would then make a negative (fiberglass) mold for the top, and reinforce the floor pan, and use it to press a steamed carpet into shape. I just never got around to it (like a lot of things!).

This is great !!
I was just talking to the man here in Ca. that will do the kits for us
Including the padding a hand/machine sewn from the pattern with a black nylon loop carpet $225.00 plus shipping to your home via UPS. I do think we can get other colors too They also can do a cut pile but I did not get the cost yet for this type of carpeting. They are now compling a list of Opel models they have patterns for, so I may be able to do GT's and Kadetts too. This is exciting as I know we all need carpeting (me too!) Thanks for your quick responses and if anyone is ready willing and able to place an order please call me 760 497 5360 We gladly accept Discover American Express Visa Mastercard and Pay Pal |
