Hi fellow i10ers !
I would be very grateful if someone could give me a lead on getting some rubber mats for my nice shiny new i10.
Having just spend what seemed like a fortnight sorting through loads of unsuitable carpet mats and too large "cannon "rubber mats at Halfords I am getting desperate . I think I found a recommendation for costco mats but there isnt one for miles from Bristol . Can anyone help ?

Hello hyboy, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/00000732.gif) to the forum.

Rubber mats eh........... personally I don't like them, my opinion is that anything 'wet' from your footwear just runs straight off the rubber and onto/into your lovely new car's lovely new carpet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . I got the i10 specific mats from my dealer when I bought the car, they fit perfectly and if/when they get dirty they can be removed for cleaning. Yes they will soak up anything 'wet' but I can always buy another set when they get too grotty. £20 odd quid well spent in my opinion, I mean, if they last 2 years that's not much per week.

I know this isn't specifically what you was asking about, but I thought I'd give you a bit more food for thought (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grin.gif)
Oh, and don't you just love your new car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/banana.gif)

Thanks for the friendly welcome Mr.P , and yes the car is an excellent all rounder and ,for all you people waiting delivery, well worth the wait . If I can find the right shape rubber mats they should collect up the mud and water and these can then be easily hosed off - no aroma of rotting mat ! Ihave just the thing as OE on my current Berlingo and wifes previous Nova , years of trouble free protection from farmyard visits and daughters football boots . Slightly worryingly I have developed an obsession of peering into i10's to see what mats they have - honestly officer ! .

Actually I think there is a danger of becoming an obsessive useer of this forum , I haven't posted about a possible replacement LED interior light and the pleasures of fitting a moulded boot tray yet ...Oh dear .

Incidentally my very recent comfort was delivered with a car alarm and cigarette lighter , not mentioned in the salesmans brochure , and without a 12V power socket which was . Sorry I think I am veering off topic , forgive me I am a newboy hyboy .

Have you had a look on eBay? I reckon I've seen rubber mats in a "Deep well type design" listed on there for the i10, which sound like just what you're after,- you might need a 'sludge-gulper' to empty them though!!!

Rofl, that made me chuckle allright LC......... I got visions of a 'gully-sucker' pulling up alongside an i10 on car wash day (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bwekk.gif)

Hyboy, you could try all the usual Aldi, Lidl, Morrisons etc, I know one of them had a few car bargains not so long ago.

i got a cheap set of rubber mats from Tesco (will probs have to find an extra or go online direct) the smaller ones fit perfectly for the front with little wholes that latch onto the floor pegs nicley so no movement there!! think the whole set was £10

There is a Costco at Bristol, it is just off the M5 at Avonmouth. The Tesco mats fit a treat, all black rubber for £12 and a grey carpet/rubber for £15.
