Default New Carpets Installed in the front

Got my Carpets installed in my XJS that I got from Paul's Jag's yesterday. Very Nice set up.

One BIG problem, now the rest of my carpets look dirty and faded.

BTW, does anyone recognize the old carpets I pulled out? Are they original carpets, original over-carpets, or after market?

Proper. I recall reading that new carpet can boost the selling price and perceived quality of your car significantly. This also just got bumped up on my priority list.

Looking Good.

Hello, Paul's? I have a black XJS... black, or grey carpet?

Nice. I know it's been a few months but would you mind sharing how much those carpets set you back? I am needing to do the same sometime soon.

Thanks

A late answer as no one else has replied to your question.

The old carpets you pulled out were OE Jaguar footwell mats. That style of heel pad and edge binding was used from late 1980's through mid 90's. I had the identical looking equivalents in my XJ40 and X300 at the time.
