Replacement Butler needed OR Burgundy floor mats?
My S4 has a Burgundy and Linen interior (which I believe is code NN).
The carpet is linen, which isn’t ideal unless you have a butler following you in another car who removes your dirty shoes prior to entering the 928, of course he replaces said shoes with clean driving shoes prior to departure and does the reverse on arrival at your destination. Unfortunately, the pandemic has meant I have had to social distance from Alfred; therefore, I need to change the OEM linen floor mats for something less easily marked!
The ideal choice would be a dark burgundy to match the interior but the only thread I could find on here was one where the person was unhappy with the burgundy (I’m face fire engine red) mats he received from Lloyds.
i couldn’t find any parts suppliers in the U.K. (my 928 is RHD) who offer Burgundy, hence wanting to ask if anyone had sourced a good set of fitted burgundy mats?
Happy to wait for the right set!
Any help and or suggestions for a supplier would be great. I could always go black mats but, if I can find them, burgundy would be my first choice.

I love Lloyds Mats in a 928. They fit great and they offer several levels of thickness or plushness if you will, ranging from standard (as are OEM Porsche) on up.
As for color, the original carpet in most cars has some fading with the decades, and there are a gazillion shades of just about any color. It’s really important to request free sample swatches from Lloyds in all of the colors on their website that appear similar to your carpet color before placing your order, then pick what looks closest. In my case, Cashmere, there were five shades that looked similar online, only one was the correct match. You’ll be matching to your interior color but the concept is still the same, it’s a necessary step. The reviewer that you read likely skipped that step and just ordered based solely on the color shown on his computer screen. I have no idea about shipping time for the swatches to Europe, but they may have an office there; shipping in the US is only 2-3 days.

I have emailed Lloyds and asked whether they make RHD mats and, if they do, what burgundy versions they offer.
Any other suggestions welcome and thanks for the confirmation on Llloyds and suggestions above.
