knox auto carpets are cheap, deliver, and make good stuff. just be aware there will be a big of measuring and cutting on your behalf when they arrive - they are moulded, not perfectly fitted.

Got some Tru-fit carpets for the KE20 not long ago, they would have been ok if they weren't so badly "scrunched up" to transport to sydney. There are a few inperfections in the mould now that I can't get out.
I'd recommend anyone who you can actually pick-up off (do not transport carpet, as the mould loses shape in transport).
One thing I did get was custom made mats, cut to size for the Rolla in the same carpet - they are brilliant!

my moulded carpets retained their shape perfectly, except the tranny tunnel was a bit too big (but that is a design flaw, not transport flaw), so you need to pad it up a bit.

Yeah i used knox auto carpets too for my sprinter...
one word of advice... patience when fitting will pay off at the end... took me 3 days work lay the sound-proofing and carpet and i still think i could've done a better job...
