I received a "special offers" notice from scandcar recently.
They have carpet sets for Amazon and 544 models listed.
I was looking for opinions of the quality these from them. Anyone here ever purchase them?

I've bought stuff from them in the past and have been satisfied with their parts.

Lubricate your distributer!

Do they have sets on sale for 1800's? If so, how much?

I hope they are good carpet sets. I ordered one for my 122 yesterday (less than $100 for the full set) and the shipping was about $50.

When it arrives (who knows how long that takes?), I'll write a review for any other interested board members.

Yes, Please let us know what to expect. I am looking into carpet for my 145 and noticed that Scandcar's prices were much lower than other suppliers. I've had good luck with them before (various items) and shipping usually doesn't take too long.

Hi,

I don't want to sound negative but I've been disappointed with the quality of recent purchases from Scandcar. For instance, they used to supply Bosch ignition components but now supply Italian alternatives which would be cheaper to source but this saving is not passed on.

I'd suggest that you check out two alternatives:

CVI:

and

VP Autoparts;

http://www.vp-autoparts.com/

VP Autoparts have a base in the US and pride themselves on the quality of their product:

quote:

Interiors - Our interiors have quickly become one of our most popular product lines. All materials such as the vinyls, textiles and the processes are developed to exactly reproduce the interiors for most of the models 1947-73 (now also some parts for 140/164). We test all interior applications either in a car, on a door, or on a seat to make sure that they have a perfect fit before any product is released. We make all the interior parts at our facilities at Fristad (except dash tops) so we can offer the highest quality and short lead times to produce interior parts. We try to stock all of the most popular interiors for PV/Duett, Amazon and 1800/ES.

Any interior trim that I've bought from VP Autoparts has exceeded my expectations. Of course, currency exchange rates will dictate value but I'd consider the alternatives to Scandcar.
