dannysupratt Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Thinking of dying my carpet black as its cream at the moment with the cream leather seats. Just wondering if it will look ok with a black carpet, has anyone done it and got any pics? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgtX80 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 mine is black, will try get a photo later if no one else has one. I like it. Apparently black carpet is higher spec. edit. sorry mine isnt uk. Whats the difference in the carpets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 UK spec mostly has cream leather and cream carpet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the difference in the carpets? Carpet is the same. Black isn't "higher spec" as far as I know. Black is just better looking to most, and rarer on the Supra, so it has become quite a desirable thing to have and get hold of. I still have a grey carpet in my shed if anyone wants to buy & dye.

miko_supra Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 i think it will look fine. the dash etc... is all black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kslb Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I know its not UK spec but I have light tan leather with black carpets and it looks mint. I have had two cars previously with this combination which is what made me do the supe the same as it looks great. Pic is not great but you get the idea.

Thorin Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I don't understand why a photo of the carpet needs to be a UK spec car.... or indeed why you even need a picture of the carpet anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he want's to see how the cream seats and black carpet goes together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I used to have cream seats and carpet (uk spec) but now its all black, ive had the seats retrimmed and fitted new black carpet. The black carpet against the cream seats works fine but ive no photos of it like that as i did the seats at the same time as changeing the carpet. Ive a photo of it with cream seats, cream carpet but with black mats if it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgtX80 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hope its what you wanted to see. Replaced the wood effect dash last week with the carbon look. Real pleased with it. I was told that black carpet, the black plastic roofing & dark visors were the higher spec kit, also leccy mirrors etc...i do have electric mirrors but theres no hole for the switch at the moment.

Don't think they are higher spec, just optional extras. Electric mirrors were on all models afaik, cept the ones that were heated.

AgtX80 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I meant folding mirrors, sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Think all models might have had them too, cept heated ones Scott =op Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgtX80 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 the trim i put in last week has no hole for the switch so they cant all have had electric folding mirrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 As i said, some of them have heated mirrors which are an optional extra. The ones that are heated aren't folding. Scott =op Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott =op UK mirrors don't electrically fold. My car has the black carpet & plastic roof lining. I prefer the felt roof lining that my UK car had.

dannysupratt Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 yeah they do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Cheers, thats what i thought Carl0s, as i stated, the ones with heated mirrors don't fold and the ones with folding mirrors aren't heated. I don't think there is a single supra out there that doesn't have one or the other. If anyone has both then i think they modified them themselves.
