New OEM floor mats
My car had the floor mats in black colour, but the interior was in Metropol Blue. This combination wasn't good enough.
One of my best friends, Xavier gave me an OEM Metropol Blue floor mats. Thanks
Javi!!
The car looks awesome now!

Do the mats attach to the car in any way? My mats have velcro circles on the bottom, but no mating velcro on the floorpan carpet, so the mats keep sliding...

For anyone thinking about new mats, I'd recommend Lloyd mats. www.lloydmats.com They are licensed to embroider Porsche logo's. Price is reasonable and quality is better than OEM, IMO. I like them because they have clips that connect to the seat tracks rather than velcro rings.

The Lloyd mats look great, can be customized nicely, but I have heard the color match isn't as precise as factory. I like the velcro attachments - can you get OEM (not Lloyd) mats for these cars through dealer or are the Lloyd mats available with the velcro rings?

No tools needed for installation. You're right about the color match - not quite perfect, but not really noticeable unless you look closely.

Phil - I think if you order OEM mats from the dealer they are going to match what originally came with the car.
What are you going to do... buy mats to protect the mats that protect the carpet?

Just purchased a set of black mats with red stitching for my TT and the quality and fit is equal to or maybe even better than OEM. Recommend highly.

1+ for Lloyds
I agree that Lloyds is the way to go when replacing the mats! Quality is good and the clips that connect to the seat tracks rather than velcro rings are a wonderful idea! Using lousy velcro rings for the OEM mats is a typical Porsche penny pincher act.
