The driver floor carpet on my car is starting to come unraveled and the rubber insert section is crumbling. The carpet in the rest of the car is good, and I am cheap. So I have decided to buy some front floor mats to solve my problem. I am assuming that the floor mats below will solve my problem, at least cosmetically, and allow me to forget about the carpet that is falling apart.
One I won't buy: Genuine OEM Mercedes Benz SL Class R107 BURGUNDY Carpeted Floor Mats 1971-1989 | eBay
One I'd buy: Mercedes Benz Floor Mat set 2 pce 450SL 380SL 560SL 230SL 250SL 280SL New | eBay
The two concerns I have are:
1) Is that Burgundy really going to look right? These mats seem identical with the same logo and driver insert, yet the Burgundy looks way-wrong for an early red interior. Yet the eBay second item says the Burgundy looks good in a red interior (clearly a subjective comment). But the color in the second one does look right on the computer.
2) Will they fit right? One of them says it also fits the w113. What's up with that? Are the floorpan sections really that similar? Or is this a cheap floormat that won't fit quite right?
Thoughts? Perhaps since the first says it is OEM, maybe the second is a knockoff??? It's only $85. Should I take the chance? Or does someone know a better place to buy the right color for cheap (~under $100).
Thanks in advance!
