Default Front of car mats?

Can anyone recommend some decent front car mats for my car please?

I don't want cheap as chips, or the silly end of the price spectrum such as OE.
I would like some reasonably priced quality tailored mats.
I'm not bothered about rear mats because we rarely take any passengers.
The selection on ebay is too large and has conflicting info on fit/suitability.

The car is a 2002 S type with updated dash. model 2.5 V6 SE automatic with black leather and dark grey carpets.

Very happy with the Lloyds front mats in my wife's 2006 XK8. They fit better and tighter than the OEM mats do, and they're much plusher and more comfortable on the feet. I went with the Ultimats version, about $90 including shipping for both front mats back in mid-2012. They still look like new....

As you are in the UK, have a look at this supplier:

www.carmats4u.com

Three different price/quality ranges available.

I've had two sets from them (the mid priced Exclusive pattern) for different Jaguars. Perfect fit and well made.

Thanks Jon89 and GGG for your recommendations.
They both look very good, but I am not sure about the US brand whether they ship or not and the cost to the UK.
My fault there and I will change my sig to show that I am in England.

It sickens me how much great stuff I see in the states for cars and bikes but the shipping costs kill it stone dead. Its a well known and discussed problem.

I'll carry on looking and make my mind up and let the forum know.
I fancy a set of dark blue mats for some contrast.

That's strange. I have ordered things from the UK and the shipping wasn't bad.

In the UK we often get hit with a Customs inspection fee and import duty on items from the US which can get very expensive.

These look ok with a choice of 3 carpet qualities and several optional extras.
Available in RHD and LHD.

Jaguar S Type 2001-2004 MK2
