b.weeks Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Hi all, My interior has been stripped. Instead of using a footmat, I would like to fit some corrugated metal plates in the footwell. Can't find a picture to illustrate what I mean but hopefully you get the jist. Any ideas where I can get these? Do you have to buy the sheets and cut it the the right shape yourself? Cheers, Ben.

jevansio Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 You mean the stuff which is divided roughly into squares with every other one having 3 slashes in it? I'm sure I've seen the larger B&Q Superstores sell sheets of stuff like that, I bet it'll be quite expensive there though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b.weeks Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 Yeah, that kinda thing. Just wondered if anyone supplied these on the offchance for cars (maybe specifically the Supra), pre-cut and the right size (and bent and the right place) etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Demon tweeks and the likes sell a thin version that is very maluable and easy to cut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 This sort of thing but they dont have a premade supra one. http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ProductDetail.asp?cls=ROAD&pcode=METQR-FW1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 If you are going to do it get the real stuff ! Make a template out of cardboard then transfer to metal, alternatively get a local metal fab shop to cut some to the size you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Wouldn't it be lighter and safer just gluing some non slip rubber to the floor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
