So, the rubber flooring at the front of Colin the Camper was looking a little on the tatty side, lacking funds (it being that time of year) but having plenty of enthusiasm, the obvious solution was to try and be creative on a shoe-string, Flyingpops found these "Tesco Value" range doormats last time we were out food shopping that closely resembled the tough carpet material used for the headlining and so wouldn't look out of place at all, so we picked them up...
...after finishing the shed I picked up the same pair of kitchen scissors I used for the roofing felt, pulled up the rubbers around the gear stick and the hand break and cut around the actual bits of metal underneath (you don't have to be too careful as the rubbers will hide a multitude of sins), that shot is work in progress as I was snipping small sections off until it fitted neatly-
- then tuck everything into place. pull the rubbers down to the carpet level et viola! A brand new, clean look, hard wearing central corridor carpet section, all for five minutes (incautious) cutting and two value doormats that cost us a grand total of £1.98...
Can't complain about that! ;)
