Evening all,
With recent group orders complete I am now turning my attention to understanding if there is a demand for a set of A2OC branded footwell mats. I'll only be using the best possible quality for comfort and longevity, so this might not be the cheapest venture.
Ive been after a set of these for years after seeing a picture of set here somewhere on the Forum. This is what they looked like from the Group order back in 2015:

These do look great but are no longer available as the original supplier is no longer trading. I had to therefore approach an alternative supplier and have found quite a few who are willing to help. The top contender so far is
www.simplycarmats.co.uk. I've received a fantastic response from them and have been going through the details with their customer services for the last 2 months, I'm now armed with enough details to share to understand if this is something that's of interest which I should continue with.
As you can see, the above mats are sporting the previous A2OC Logo and I would be having the latest Logo added:

Here's an idea of what they will look like (photoshop only at this time):

There will also be a complete colour chart for you to choose from so don't be put off by the red trimmed anthracite mat above. The choice of what colour you receive can be totally customised by your good selves.
Here’s another image of the previous run on a darker mat, which I think you'll agree looks a little better on the eye, of course with the latest Club Logo added:

The supplier I have chosen will be providing our Club Logo embroidered onto a backing cloth/swatch which will be sewn onto the mats, fronts only but can also be added to the rears for an additional charge.
After engaging with many different suppliers I have decided to stick with
www.simplycarmats.co.uk who have provided the best response so far. I'd be very interested in anyones views on their products if you've used them before, more so about longevity.
So what are they offering to us as a community? Before I dive into the costs I think you need to see which of their offerings I'm proposing. I have chosen their Super Deluxe set of 4 mats. These are their premium quality carpeted mats and can be customised to your choice.
Super Deluxe £49.90 (
price increased to £68.98 Jul 22):

Below are the carpet colours options available (beige, black and grey) along with the perimeter trim colour option (£3 for non standard). These mats come with a free carpeted heel pad but an optional rubber heel pad can be chosen for an additional £5.

Should this group order move forward then all of the above colour options are available to you. Your mats will be produced direct from your choices based on the above options.
If you’re wanting to understand what colour options might look best to your eye and suit your A2 then you can use the website link above and play with the choices as it'll update the picture of the mats in the first picture in this post.
Once you've had a play with the options available you'll quickly understand that the mats cost between £50 and £60 which is without the Club Logo. I'll go into the deal that this supplier has offered us in the next post.
Kind regards,
Tom
