I think these are the first people to produce a moulded carpet, your right it’s not cheap but it should fit perfect for that money. All the other carpets that I have seen are stitched together and they are not the easiest to fit

S and base models were single piece carpet, Ghia and anything with a full length centre console was two piece.

Looks to me like you still have to cut holes for the gear lever and handbrake, and maybe the seat mounts . Bloody expensive. I can get a nz made cut pile carpet for half that. I think the models with a centre console have the carpet split left and right and models without console are split front to rear . We ( me and the carpet guy ) did figure mk2 & 3 will interchange . Stichted carpets are better than moulded ( the moulded ones get a bit skinny in places ) if they are made properly. Dont buy loop pile carpet ,they run like a ladder in stockings real easy if you snag a loop.

The 2 piece carpet that has a front and back halves ,the join is just forward of the rear seat mounts under the back of the front seat and thusly largely unseen . If it was a budget thing Id go for the cheaper 2 piece loop pile . Gotta say tho , them capri club ones do look real good .
