I'm in the process of replacing the carpet in my Firenza - the old one was made to fit something, but perhaps a Victor as there was a fair bit of spare carpet in some places and not quite enough in others.
My plan is to cut the individual shapes for rear section, transmission tunnel and the two front footwells then somehow shape it and join it back together. As you can guess, I won't be throwing the old bit out for a while yet. I bought a piece of black carpet 6'6" x 11' a couple of years ago, and that's ample, in fact probably will have enough to make a boot carpet. This afternoon I've cut the sections out, tomorrow I shall start trimming one of them to fit, perhaps the transmission tunnel so I can block the gearlever hole up and stop mice getting in (which is what prompted me to do this in the first place).
