Just to be cautious and since it is difficult to return something once it has crossed the Atlantic... Before we spend our money, should we verify that what they have to offer is close to what we are looking for? Or is the money refundable if the quality does not meet our expectations?

tom, cabrio is the most recommendable supplier of bmw, porsche and mercedes carpets, there are few examples of coupe carpets from them in this fprum, last one wally siswaji in jakarta, check his thread, he is very satisfied

That's reassuring. I just know from experience that just because other people are happy with a product doesn't always mean that it is very good. I'm thinking of the correct color of binding which hasn't been available for years, but maybe that has changed. The same goes for the foot pads as mentioned previously... Anyway. I'm sure we'll here back from them soon.

Hey guys the last post on this was in February is there any update or new folks for the list, looks like we stand at 24 now, not pressing just askin. Rum

Look under the discussions section. Cabrio isn't expecting production until the end of the year. Hang tight. Gotta believe this will happen but patience will be required.

Carpet fibers.

All,

Latest from Cabio. Getting closer and looks like a great start on carpet match. Production is still scheduled for the first of the year, but looks really promising. See below:


Dear Klaus

This looks to be a great start. It is difficult to assess the color match based on a photograph. We will rely on your expertise in achieving the correct mix / color / loop etc. However we would like to have one of our group look at the sample(s). We can work to arrange this communication.

Timing is as we discussed before and is OK.

As to pricing. I think the price point will be acceptable. I would like to keep this conversation somewhat open based on how many orders we can ultimately bring forward.

Best

John

From Cabrio:

Dear John,

in between we have the first result. This is a blue and grey fiber combination according the colours of your sample. The timing schedule will remain end of this year, the pricing will need a correction to around EUR 375,-, which is according our list price for standard colours 2-tone-loop with no quantity discount, as several additional costs occured by all the special small quantity treatments.

Would this be ok?

We look forward to your message and remain with

best regards
Helen Joepen

Have them mail me a sample, and then I can compare it to my NOS pieces, then I can send both to Jesus, and then we have two sets of eyes....no plans to drive 4 hours in that direction anytime soon.
