When it comes to choosing a carpet for your Mini, we understand it can get a little confusing... With so many Mini carpets & variations on the market, it can be difficult to know which carpet set will meet your needs.

Here at Mini Sport we offer a range of Mini carpets to suit any budget. Our value carpet sets are made from a good quality Nylon material. The deluxe carpets are made using better quality velour. Whereas our moulded carpet sets are the best quality available, made to the original spec & moulded over the tunnel and toe-board. Moulded sets also include sound deadening.

Replacing your carpet is a relatively easy task that can really refresh the interior of your Mini!

We've tasked our team to give you the step-by-step instructions on how to carry this out, from the comfort of your own home...

Replacing your Carpet

Mini Carpets

You will need:

  • 2 x cans of spray glue
  • Heat gun or hairdryer
  • Sharp scissors
  • Bradawl (spike)
  • Small hammer
  • Circle punch (1 ½” diameter)
  • Chalk
  • Screw drivers

Step 1

The first step in fitting carpets, is to prepare the inside of your Mini! Remove your seats, seatbelts & brackets that are fitted to the Mini crossmember. Remove the heater & steering column as well. This will allow for better access to the floor area.

Step 2

Remove your existing carpet, it should peel away easily enough. You can then use your old carpet as a template for you to cut the hole for the gear lever in the new carpet.

Step 3

Time to fit the sound deadening! With the budget or Deluxe carpet we recommend using a sound deadening kit (MOT4001) under the carpet, as mentioned our moulded carpet sets include the deadening.

Step 4

Use the contact adhesive to secure the front wheel arch sections, inner sill and seat crossmember sections. But beware not to get adhesive on your new carpet!

Our moulded carpets come with a kit of carpet fasteners to secure the carpet.

Step 5

Refit the parts you removed (in reverse order) & enjoy your new carpet!
