I ended up with a bad match, sent it back and got the samples. I picked the best match from the samples and wasn't very happy with the color match. I decided to keep them anyway and figured i would eventually either buy the OE or black Lloyds.

I had samples sent to me from one of the places that do lloyds and none of the colors matched.
I did get them to send me a 'cashmere' and it was closer but not a true match.
I gave up.

+1 I went with black mats as well and like the contrast.

Hey JackofHearts, I have black mats in my cashmere interior (red carrera script). Really happy with the way they look. I'll send you a pic later if I can find my camera...

Park Place in Texas has the OEM mats cheaper than Lloyds....

no idea if the match is better though....
Wow - I've been trying to get a set of light grey mats (from a marble interior) but have been told by Porsche GB that they are no longer made/sold/whatever!At those prices they can send them courier. On second thoughts, that usually means that the GB Customs will levy duty on them (VAT at 17.5%) so parcel post is cheaper by far.

It's ok but maybe cashmere mats would look better?

Default don't be so ****...the Lloyds cashmere is fine...

It's funny when these old threads come back. I had completely forgotten about this thread (despite having posted in it twice). A few months ago I absent-mindedly ordered a set of the Lloyds Ultimats, from Pelican, in Cashmere. I ordered the script (Porsche) in black instead of the original brown (much better). Mats arrived inside of a week.

No the color's not exactly right (who ever said more caramelly is right) and the carpet fabric is different too. But the mats look great in the car so who cares. They are much sturdier than the original. (I show them off by vacuuming rows in the nap like Rennlister Mike taught us.) I also really like that screw-down button they give you that holds the mats in place. Way better than the webbing snaps. Best $117 I spent that week. May even get a set for my wifeys SLAAB.

I've got a few samples on the way from Pelican. I'll post pics next to the factory carpet when they show up.

How did those samples turn out?

I'd like to order mats from Lloyds too to match my cashmere interior, but if they don't match...

Is the consensus that black is a better option?

Anyone else have an opinion on the right match for cashmere. Looks like the "light tan" Lloyds mats might fit the bill from the photos, especially if cashmere shows dark.

Definitely order samples from Pelican. Better to be safe. I got mine only a few days after I ordered them and found the exact match to my carpet. By the way, I have Cashmere carpet, but the car is a 3.2 so the color wouldn't be of much help to you.

Just put in Black Lloyds with the Cashmere script. Upper half of interior is black over the Cashmere... IMHO it looks Great and easier to hide any dirt!!!

I recently bought the black mats with the red script for a black interior, but with the top down in the sun I notice that the mats did not match the interior carpet well. The mats seemed to have a blueish/purple tint to them.
