eBay is probably a good place to start.

Just trying to find the site I've used before for my Fiat.

Edit: Sorry can't find the link

TBH - cheapskate that I am (plus don't like fibre mats because of effects of snow and slush) - paid the huge sum of £4.99 for 4 rubber mats from Argos. Red piping, have to trim fronts a tiny bit. Cut out slots at the back of the mats so that the grippers would hold them in place.
They're fine, soft and flexible and don't ruck up under the accelerator.
Quick wash every now and again with sponge, quick spray with wheel treatment - they look like new again.

I got mine form skoda dealer and yea quite expensive but they are great they have been designed with a saucer type of shap to keep water and crap off the carpets. Like the idea about wheel treatment I just scrub mine with an ols scrubbung brush

I was under the impression that the Skoda ones were pretty cheap compared to other marques? Can someone remind me of the price then?

I wouldn't put any other mats in their tbh ... it would look cheap and nasty IMO.

sotonjoe · 16-08-2007, 10:30

I've just checked and it's £57 for a full set of VRS mats. Still good value imo when you can spend £40 on a set of horrible aftermarket ones in halfords. They really do complete the look in my opinion.

Be careful when cleaning the skoda mats though. Brush/hoover them but don't shake them. They have a tendency to rip. I did this to one of mine the first week I had the car.
They feel and look nice but not to sure on the quality.

Agreed.

scary_leary · 16-08-2007, 13:11

i fitted some decent quality cannon ones but always wanted the main dealer vrs ones.
A couple of times nosing around on ecrotch found a nearly new set for £24 posted.
It does finish the car off properly

Just spotted a set of 2nd hand vRS mats on eBay if anyone's after a set:

SKODA FABIA VRS FLOORMATS on eBay, Skoda, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (item 200146449050 end time 03-Sep-07 10:58:47 BST)

Looks like they're in good nick.

Mr Grumpy · 27-08-2007, 17:32

I have a spare set......

Big Mikey · 27-08-2007, 17:38

Aye - any other mat just wouldn't cut it - all the new ones available on eBay are not genuine Skoda ones and they don't look as good. There is an aluminium heel-plate on eBay with the vRS logo which looks pretty cool - might pick it up.

I agree completely about the mats, but those heel plates on eBay look like a Halfords nightmare.

Big Mikey · 27-08-2007, 20:21

Haha! Guess I'll just have to keep getting the hoover on them then!
