My customer has a '03 S-Type and needs some front floor mats. Has anyone had a good experience with getting a nice set of carpeted mats?

 

There is a thread floating out there on the forum about the lack of availability of good floor mats - best bet - Jaguar parts suppliers (unfortunately)

 

Failing that, see posts by Jon89.

 

just search "floor mats" and you'll find a lot of useful info. I recently bought my car without mats and did the research. I decided to go with the cheaper OEM Jaguar mats. Apparently they are plain black, but can be found for approx. $75. The leather trimmer mats with the Jaguar logo are well over $200. Because the cheaper OEM jaguar mats are plain, some people have opted for aftermarket mats and have been happy with them.

 

I purchased a set of Lloyd Luxe mats for my S-type about a year ago. I have been very happy with them. They fit great. I believe they were around $200.

 

The jaguar dealer!

Only 150 usd a set and they fit properly

 

I have seen someone selling custom aftermarket s type mats on eBay for around $ 85 with a jaguar logo. Don't know how well they fit though.

 

Man, I was hoping to get a nice pair for about $85. I like the hooks in the floor but the mats in the car are dead.

 

I bought a set from this eBay seller. I ordered the extra nice ones with logo and am very satisfied with the fit.

I see you have an STR. The eBay mats look good. Did the front mats have holes to fit the hooks in the floor?

 

How bad are they?

Throw them in a tub of hottish water and a jug of vinegar. Soak for an hour, add dish soap and scrub with a floor brush. Rinse well in warm water. You might be surprised.

There's a link to the supplier's eBay listing where appropriate model, colour and edge trim can be specified.

If I lived in the US, I'd be going for these. Other members who have purchased them report they are better quality than OE Jaguar.

If the interior is charcoal search for part number xr853917fln on Jaguar parts websites. These are the cheaper OEM mats and can be found for about $75 shipped.

 

yes

 

Man, these mats are DEAD. She was driving around with them unsecured and the edges are all torn up and everything.

Thanks for all of the replies. I once got better matts than what came in my Volvo. I believe in enjoying my mats, not covering them with those dreaded rubber snow/mud mats. The only thing the aftermarket mats may not have been is flame resistant like the OEM mats.

I'll report back when

 

I know it's a matter of taste (carpet v. rubber), but i have the Hexomat rubber mats in my 03 STR and I"m very fond of them. They fit perfectly and catch dirt/debris/liquids very well, yet are not all chunky and bulky like a snow mat. I've actually received compliments on how well they look. Just FYI in the event someone reading this thread is interested in a rubber option. I got them from autoanything.com. Very reasonable.

 

I just ordered up a custom carpeted set off of Amazon. They don't have the logo but were only $55 and have a lot of color choices and supposed to have the holes for the hooks. Hope to get them in a couple of days.
