I know there are hundreds of people selling car mats but I am looking for a genuine set of near black car mats for my STR 2007. Trying a dealer on Thursday to see if they have any in stock. I do not think they ever made a set for the STR, which would have been great. Cost would not expect any change from £100.00.
Thanks if any kind person has any advice.

 

Bought ($40) used mats from an STR owner who sold the car with aftermarket mats. Wonder if Jag has original mats for this car?

 

I also want new mats, without spending an arm and a leg of course.

There's a vendor on ebay which sells pretty good quality reproductions for under $100. I've read positive reviews on here about them.

Did the original S-Type mats have JAGUAR embroidery? The one's that came with my STR are plain black with no fancy embroidered logo, wondering if these are originally like this or aftermarket replacements to begin with...

 

Just received the set of custom front Lloyd Ultimats that I ordered for my wife's XK8 not quite two weeks ago. Their quality and comfort are far superior to the Jaguar Victory Edition mats that came with the car. I could have opted for special Jaguar logo embroidery but felt that would be a waste of money. I spent a total of $86.90 for these mats and had them in the car ten days after I ordered them. They are also a much better and tighter fit than the factory mats are. No question in my mind that these Lloyd mats are a much better value than purchasing factory mats would be....

 

In the UK there are two types available with or without the Jaguar logo I have just ordered a set with discount very little change from £100. I had a pair in my first STR from a bucket shop and they were cr@p. I then purchased a proper set which were 100% better also with the logo.
They never did a mat with R logo for the STR. It is possible to have them made but I am not that big an anorak as SHMBO says.

 

Jaguar sell (or sold) Premium mats, part # XR853918AEK and the like, and/or embroidered ones such as XR856600AMB

I recall they were more money than I wanted to pay!

 

Got a new set on Friday and yes they were more than I wanted to pay but paid as I wanted the quality. When you compare a jaguar set to the bucket shop ones you can see the quality difference. You get what you pay for. I also purchased a new set of reflectors to be colour matched as I did it on my first STR and it looked the dogs. They were not cheap either. I will keep these as like an idiot I got rid of the old ones. I suppose the easiest way would have been to reove the reflectors, have them painted and put back. I also had a set of rear mud flaps on my 2004 STR. Jaguar now do not do a set for the 2007 STR. I wonder why the dropped the Brembo brakes as the brakes used are the same as the XF.

 

I understood there wasn't room (or something) for the flaps on the STR, so that's a surprise. I believe they were not available OE fit.

I think they just wanted to save money so dropped the Brembos.

 

The pads are now cheaper I suppose thats a plus point.

 

MacSTR good choice going with the mats, I would have spent the extra money as well.

Pretty smart with having purchased new reflectors too.

 

There is some tailored mats that look ok on ebay Item # 130579545174
@ £15.95 + p&p. Also do the option of a coloured trim for people who like that sort of thing.
My car came with some generic mats from Jag Centre but they dont fit proper so might give these a try.
