Think i be messaging him, get my money back! soon as i opened box thought that cant be right, this is my 1st cosi, got light Grey carpet, but got black leathers, wanted the dark carpet to go with it, the quality is much better then the one Ive just got. but wanted to be sure before i go guns blazing.

Tough one that. Looks ok to me as I have had mine out recently. See if it fits, then ask questions. If it is out a 4x4 and your car is 2wd the transmission tunnel bits will be loose due to the difference in having to clear the transfer box and propshaft.

cheeRS for the replys, ive kept it as its a mint carpet anyway, I will be having a close look at the some cosi's at some shows and make my mind up then, if its not it prob come to use for someone in the future, just the one ive got now is really thick! only reason why I questioned it, When i had a rs turbo s2 and mk4 escort bonus, carpet was miles different, bonus being really thin, rs being nice and thick. ta!
