Big bit of carpet.. or ideas where i can get some

I'm after a big chunk of grey carpet. The back of my car looks like this:

I want to move the seat belt anchors forward a bit and carpet the back. Any ideas?

Don't move the seatbelt anchors, they're specially reinforced below.

+ you'll break your spine in a frontal impact if you move them even further forwards, this distance is only "just" ok as far as i can see.

Hi mate.Any budget carpet store should do you a cut of for a couple of quid.
As for the seat belts, THEY WERE PUT THERE FOR A REASON.
Volvo built the safest cars in the world so they new where to put them.
This is only old fart advice :lol:. Good luck with the carpet.
Cheers Mark. sm4

If I were going to get a big bit of carpet round here, I'd visit my local floor covering man - http://www.linoritchie.ie/ :mrgreen:
