Where can I get Jaguar original floor mats for cheap? My front driver's floor mat is in pretty rough condition (inside hook area is ripped).

I guess I can go with universal mats but I want something more genuine.

 

Venders on here
Dealership
Ebay
Used car dealership test drive

 

hehe.. I like the last choice..

 

Try Nalley Jag, they just quoted me some for my xk8...look at their specials page here.

 

I already did... They quoted me under $60 for the set. I will be placing the order soon...

 

I got the mats from Nalley Jaguar. I was little disappointed. My original mat (driver's side) has Jaguar logo. The new one I got, it doesn't have it. Overall the new mats are better quality (rubber backed, better stitching, etc).

 

That is a little diappointing. Many years ago, Jaguar did not have logos on their floor mats, so I would be okay with it.

To protect your new mats, I suggest placing a thin towel that you can get at one of the discount stores over the driver and passenger side mats. You can wash it occasioinally at home. That handy household tip has enabled me to extend the life of the mats on my Saturn to 10 years and beyond.

Although not orginal, some good rubber mats are made by McNeil Automotive under the brandname Weathertech. They are great American made mats and are precision fit for every make and model. http://www.weathertech.com/

 

Just checked my mats, mine has JAGUAR on the heel pad only.

TBH, I didn't even know it was there until I just looked. As long as its thick, doesn't slide, has an exceptional heel pad, I wouldn't think about it too much. Look around, jag logos everywhere in that car, nobody is going to be looking by your feet

 

I'd like to see the Jaguar logo.

 

I prefer to see the logo. Looks more authentic, in my opinion..

 

Well... Decided to get the real mats from my Jaguar Dealership in Troy Michigan. Ouch...
The four mat Logo Set was $314.98. Look great but my wallet is a bit thinner for it.

 

Just got a quote this week from Mark @ Nalley Jaguar. Those same logo mats are $240 from them. $60 for the plain OE mat set.

 

I would never spend that kind of money on floor mats for ANY vehicle....

If you want replacement carpet mats that custom-fit your vehicle, go to a carpet store that sells remnants and pick out a remnant that gives you the look you want and is large enough to make the number of mats you need. Then use your existing mats as a template, cut your new mats from your remnant, and have the carpet store professionally bind the edges of your new mats with the binding color of your choice....

Far less expensive than these factory mats, and better carpet quality as well if you select your remnant carefully. I've done this several times since the early 1980s and I've always been much more pleased with the better quality carpet I've selected....

 

I got my logo floor mat set from GaudinJaguarParts.com (part no. XR856599AMB) for $227.50 plus $28.44 shipping about a year ago. I can justify the nosebleed since these are my JCNA Concours floor mats and spend most of the year in plastic under the living room couch. (The "AMB" in the part no. might be the color ID, so those digits may vary.)

 

That was not my experience. There's no way the Weathertech driver-side front mat was a precision fit for my '05 STR. Weathertech's reply was "we never said the mats would be an exact fit for your car". Nice material, misleading advertising.

 

I got a set from this eBay seller. Good quality and nice logo.

I had the same experience with the Weathertechs, and the same snotty reply from them. Their mats were ridiculously ill-fitting, even dangerous to use on the driver's side. They may have perfect fit mats for the garden variety cars like Toyotas and BMWs, but for rare birds like the S-Type, all they do is send you a "universal" size - and don't make it clear that is what you will get. It was a PITA to return the mats. Now whenever I see their page after page of self-serving advertisements in car mags, I just sneer and turn the pages.

 

Laurie's originals are in perfect condition. First thing I did was go to Wallyworld and buy a cheap set of rubber ones to lay over them. I suspected they cost a fortune to replace and sounds like I was right.

 

Yep Jim, I also laid down a set of on-sale-for-$18 black rubber mats from Sears over our factory S-Type floor mats. Works for me....

 

Noooooooooo, I purchased my car w/these ugly plastic mats over the nice factory ones and trashed them as soon as I got home. The plastic mats over factory mats is .
DON'T DO IT!


The factory mats are easy to keep clean, mine have been uncovered for over six years and they still look perfect. I have probably steam cleaned them once only because I had to try out my new steam cleaner. I just simply vacuum them and when I see a stain, I spray stain removal and it's gone.
