Hey RET

From memory front & Rear mats $280 each  :o  boot mat $280  :o  and you can have them in any colour you like, so long as its BLACK. (you could have got colours about 6 years ago)

I always thought OUCH! but who else does em?

Also Rare spares have mudflaps.repro. $52.00 a pair with brackets. Haven.t seen them so I can't say what they are like. Kev..

Hi.
The Rare Spares ones are NOTHING like the originals. In my opinion, they are poxy looking. Martin at Obsolete Rubber does a near perfect copy. I have a repo front floor mat & am totally stoked with it. PERFECT!! I was happy to pay the $$$.
Get the mudflaps from him, as they are so much better.
Regards,
Rob

I to have seen the Rare spares ones. They look like they should be on a Mazda! There woeful , I agree with 4 Hammers

I spoke to Sam (bracket manufacturer,on 07/02/03 and the brackets are $25.00 each. Kev.  P.S.The rare spares rear mudflaps do look like S**T....

Hi Gents
I was just wandering if you had any pics of these items in question as it may help ppl in there decission to spend those kind of dollars.

Just a thought.

Cheers Jim

I have just ordered a new boot mat from Obselete (sold one of the kids to slavery to get the money, after all FC's DO come first ;D) so I'll take some photos for you.

There is also a advert & picture in Unique Cars each month just at the end of the colour section.

Cheers,

Craig.

Prices have gone up. Front mudflaps now $70.00 and brackets now $60.00. Same contact details. (prices per pair)Regards Kev..

I just bought the front and boot matts with a set of mudflaps, cost a bit but well worth it. Sensational!!! I recomend anyone considering buying these to just do it if you want that stock look very happy  ;D ;D ;D ;D

I just ordered a set of brackets from Sam.

He also reproduces FC scuff plates in satin stainless steel. $240 a set.

I've ordered a set, so I'll report back on what they are like!

Regards

Ed

Martin at Obsolete Rubber Mats is beyond reproach he is great to deal with and very honest and his product is A1 i have purchased a number of sets of mud flaps from him and one floor mat and they are all great. Richard i think Sam Crupi in Shepparton is getting out of retro bits ,tony mentioned it too me at Hanging Rock i will check it out and let you know. The rare Spares mud flaps look appalling and not at all original.
Brett

What needs to be done to improve the Rare Sapres mud flaps? As for brackets Rares has them for the rear mudflaps for about $20.00 a set part no,s
w251brl  2 needed w251bl 1 needed w251br 1 needed

Could someone tell me the business name of Obsolete(can't find them in the phone directory) and also their address please. Going to Victoria next week (I think).
Mal.

I'm guessing its 'Obsolete Rubber mats'. Thats what it says on their card. No address is given so I think you will have to give them a ring.

Painting these mats...

Painting these mats is no problem either. I have painted these floormats on my EK using Dupont Vinyl paint. The great thing about this vinyl paint is that it comes in an endless array of colours, as the paint formula is taken off Arylic paint formula's with the vinyl binder added. It is also a one pack application and does not require hardeners or thinning, opposed to 2K. The paint along with the mats wear equally as well as the originals!

Prior to painting the mats i would leave them in the car for a number of mounths to mould into shape. Then take the matts out paint and refit them.

I would ring first as i think it is a part time business only so Martin? may not be there.

Hey Craig

How did ya go with ya boot mat. We never did see any pics.

I am going to put rubber mats in Hilda and was considering Obsolete. Any comments.

Ta

Matt F.

P.S. I haven't forgotten the beers I owe ya for my "Emu" pic.

Sorry Emu, no pictures  :-[

The quality is EXTREMELY good though, and I would highly recommend them as a supplier.

One of the best repros of any part.

Cheers,

Craig.

That's what I was hoping to hear Craig.

Thanks mate.

Emu

Rear mudflaps are now $70- per pair plus postage

Craig & Martin

Photo's please. One question do they keep these items in stock or are they made to order. I was thinking as it is my 40th Birthday on the day I leave for the Nationals I might stop there on my way back and spend a bit of my birthday money and replace the carpet with rubber.

Cheers Jim

Hey Jim,

I contacted these guys a few weeks ago to get mats for "Hilda". None in stock. He said he would need a month or so. If you give him a call, he may be able to have some for your birthday,............you 'ol fossil.

Emu

Same thing with the rear mudflaps - will be making a batch soon - wait 3-4 weeks.
