Sheepskin Over Rugs for a Merc?

[sportyreptile]

Can you get Sheepskin over rugs for a Merc? The reason I ask is I was lucky enough today to get a ride in a Bentley Turbo R, it really was something special and I realised I've been seriously out posed

Anyway, this amazing car had very deep pile sheepskin over rugs fitted. they looked great and felt real nice under foot, some top luxury there. It got me thinking that a set would look really good in the S class, does anyone know if you can get these?

(Being Welsh of course I could just chase a woolly back around the nearest mountain, but the scraggy ones around here wouldn't offer any comfort at all and would probably smell a bit.... )

Yeah , the Bentley rugs are sexy aren't they !!

I thought about these after i had a ride in a Turbo R , they are proper expensive if i remember rightly, although there is not much shape to them (just a basic footwell shape, not cut around the pedals or anything) , a Bentley set would probably fit an S class nicely ....

i bet they are expensive, the ones in the Bentley today must have been a good inch and half thick.

it's certainly a thought about getting a Bentley set, they probably would fit ok. I'll look into that, thanks.

If I get a price and I haven't had a heart attack, I'll post it up here.

last time we priced up sheepskins they were between £50 and £70 for decent quality ones.

is an infant sheepskin rug for £60.

Although they will get filthy very quickly they are easy to clean

i'd love a set for my 300E-24, some nice burgandy ones to match the leather

Costco do some lovely sheepskin rugs. You'd probably get all the mats out of one rug.

Sorry, but come on, they will get filthy the first time you go out lol... Proper Del Boy accessory! (IMHO)

Hmmm

Dont have overmats but I confess to having sheepskin seat covers!

when I bought the car I thought they were the naffest thing I'd ever seen so took 'em off PDQ - about halfway home in fact

but they are soooo comfy so put 'em back on naff or not!

My 1979 Aston Martin V8 had sheepskin over rugs from new, which I had to replace when the originals finally gave up the ghost after 20 years. The new set cost £400 and I have to say they doo add that final bit of luxury and don't look too bling at all, as long as they are in a nice natural colour or deep black, the latter of which I plan to get for my CL500.

This is where I purchased them. http://www.easirider.com/lambswool_overugs.htm

I found them after a session on Google, I've emailed them for a quote, I'll let you know what they come back with.

Just make sure you take off your welly boots before getting back into the car

Good luck with the quote,

They've got a picture of a W124 set on their website.

I think care must be taken to avoid looking garish. I can imagine the example in the Bentley looking quite nice.

The sheepskin seat covers do look garish. The overrugs, by contrast, are only noticeable when you get in the car and notice the deep pile effect. Unless you choose bright red or soemthing equally garish of course.

Probably cost more than the car is worth !!

Seriously though, if you get a price for the w124 ones i'd love to know !!

Gotta be black though ....

Yeah, that's what I'll do. I'll buy black ones and then realise I don't have a black interior. Hey, then I can let you have them cheap!! Great idea! Anyone else want to 'fleece' me? ....

I'm waiting to see what the Welshman gets quoted before I go any further...

There's a whole etiquete and proceedure to be followed for the donning and removal of the wellies....wellies are the sacred items to dedicated sheep sh.......

Think of it like the Japanish Tea ceremony, more ritualistic than conducive to having a nice cup of tea!


Still waiting for the quote off these guys by the way.

Baaaar-bara told me all about it She said, "Ewe aaaare the one for me", but I was only the Sheep Sh*****s son

Good luck with the mats,

I've been quoted £560 for a set for my CL500. Samples are on their way.

 

[sportyreptile]

560??? Jeez, that's pricey. I still haven't heard from them, perhaps they are getting bombarded with requests from Merc owners and are getting fedup.
