Default Transmission tunnel floor mat?

Hi guys,

Beige carpet < enough said. I can't seem to find if any sort of transmission tunnel carpet is available for E60? Surely someone has made something to go there? Any ideas?

Have you looked for it on Realoem.com?

nothing in realoem, i was just in that category last night.

OP, I've never seen anything like that. I'm sure an upholsterer could make it for you though.

You need to search around, but there are a number of after market mat sets available with a fifth piece that covers the transmission tunnel. Beige will probably be impossible to find. Black is easy.

This is the set I ordered. A little bit light weight, but OK for the money I paid.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Can you tell me where you bought that online?

I have a right hand drive so it makes it even harder to find the right mats. I have called some local custom mat makers and they are quite reasonable price wise.

Actually on another note, I am torn about mat colours. The car currently comes with black floor mats, I am thinking a black tunnel mat would look odd since the rest of the car is beige. Perhaps I could just find a beige tunnel mat, then it would still look stock. (Idea!)

Been a while since I have purchased them but I believe this was the source.

I have the light grey interior and know how hard the lighter color mats are to keep clean.

For a beige trans tunnel cover you would almost have to buy a black and beige set and use just the trans tunnel mat from the beige set. Sounds like the recommendation of an earlier poster to buy a carpet remnant piece of material and have a carpet store sew the edge makes the most sense.

Head Lights, Bumper Lights items in DotCom Racing store on eBay!

Thanks for that! Mostly left hand drive mats though, I'll have to go to a local supplier for right hand drive.

You might try Ebay UK. It seemed like they had quite a few right hand drive options.
