FYI

Cocomats will give us a discount for the "bulk order" left OR Right hand drive. It's not major (10%: so $117 PLUS shipping) but it is nIce to have!!

So if anyone in the UK, eg Kemal, wants a LHD set, let me know.

Same goes for other countries. If there's a few in the US who want a set, at this point, all you need to do is work out to whom they ship....

Hi Tosh,
Let me also add my thanks for your efforts in Righities being able to gain Coco mats for their cars.
In my case I would be after the "02" Black with natural.
I believe Dirk has kindly offered to co-ordinate the others from Australia. Dirk how would you like to do this? Funds to you for a combined order, funds direct to Coco Mats but then consolidating a shipment to you for breakdown and forwarding or some other method?

Last week Tosh asked me to hold off until a "test set" had been given a clean bill of health.
I believe that we will need to place one collective order, therefore I would have to pay fo the whole lot at once. In addition to this we will need to add transport + possibly customs charges + duty + import GST + local freight (to each individual). The cost of transport should be pretty clear, but the other charges may or may not apply depending if the total cost of goods is AUD1,000 or more.
I am quite willing to pay for everything up front, see what the actual costs are and then get payment from everyone before sending the mats out.
Worst case scenario: Noone pays me and I have about 5 sets of mats for Else (sofar I have Garry, Frank, Bob and George showing interest....if I find 2 more expressions of interest, then I might have a different set of mats for every day of the week).
In any case, I will not be doing anything until Tosh gives me the green light.

Sorry, stupid question. Tosh tried to helped and sent me a link with photos but I'm still unsure. So do these mats go under the carpet as sound insulators or do they replace the carpets themselves. I think it's the former but just wanted to make sure. Did the original cars have these?

Eryck, these cocomats sit on top of your carpet and their main function is to minimise wear & tear on your carpet.

Cocomats were an original option (refer to the technical article on datacard options

Just an aside on Eryck's question... The cocomats are sturdy and fairly thick. In my case, they sit on top of my carpet (squareweave with a foam backing), which in turn sits on top of some insulation similar to dynamat. All this together makes a solid foundation for sure. Problem is: it does minimize the foot space down there. I wear a US 11. My tennies and workshoes just make it -- but when I wear boots, my toe slightly hits the steering column as I go to brake. Was scary the first time it occurred! Just a "foot's up" (as opposed to a head's up...)

Test set arrived and looks good

I have asked them if they can make a couple of very minor changes. Once I hear back, I will post here and we can go.

Meanwhile, here's my footwell...

Cognac (leather) and carpet

Oh, did you mean the overmat?

Tosh, missed that they will provide LHD, so count me in for a set. I just need to decide upon colour to go with the green leather and carpet... black and Taupe no.54 or a tan colour :?:
Suggestions gratefully received anyone.

Is there anyone else in Australia who would like to order Cocomats?

Today I sent emails to Garry, Frank, Bob and George asking them which mats they would like. Sorry for the delay, but Tosh's email ended up sitting in my spam folder for a while.

I didn`t receive the email however I`m still in. I need a medium grey.

G'Day George,

I sent the email via your profile. The others received thei mail by the same process, so if you haven't yet then I suggest you check your email address in your profile.

According to the Sisal Page (www.cocomats.com/Style.htm) the only choice you seem to have is #53 Black & Grey Dot or #12 Black & White Dot. I cannot find any greys. Please let me know what you would like.
You could always go the Henry Ford way by choosing black (#22 herringbone).

georgem · « **Reply #42 on:** May 21, 2008, 17:25:00 »

No 53 Black with grey dots please

Cheers
George

UK mats are all here

Hopefully those that have them are happy...

Tosh and Aussies who ordered RHD mats,

I am glad to hear the poms have their mats.
I am still waiting for Jeff to get back to me after I placed an oder on the 29th of May. Despite repeated requests I have not been able to get a reply out of Cocomats since 9/06/08.
I will keep at them.

Garry · « **Reply #45 on:** July 09, 2008, 04:14:18 »

Thanks Dirk for update.
Now that the Poms have their mats, Cocomats might start on the Aust ones!!

The race for the coco mats - its the only sport the Poms have beaten us in for a while..........

This is mission control.
We have success, repeat we have success.....well partially anyway.
Cocomats have told me that they will be able to ship this Saturday.
Now for the bad news: I am off to Queensland on Wednesday and not returning until 1/08. Sorry guys, but you might have to wait that little bit longer.
As far as beating the poms is concerned, does anyone know when the Ashes are up next?

Garry · « **Reply #48 on:** July 09, 2008, 23:30:27 »

Not until July next year in UK. I believe they need all the time they can to get together a team!
Bit like the coco mats, I suppose you could class that as a bit of a win for them but that is really stretching the friendship.
