Hi Charlie,
No, I'm afraid you're on your own there. I cut and fitted my own using paper templates I made. It's not that hard to do, just takes a bit of time. The other option is getting a local trimmer that's willing to take it on, but that might entail getting the car to them.
Cheers

Hi Charlie,
I got 6 meters off a roll that was 1.5 meters wide. Mines a Speedster, but not much difference to a coupe. I also carpeted under the bonnet, and the underside of the bonnet. Really not that much left after all that was done. I used "Biscuit " German Square Weave carpet from Madmatz.
Cheers,
Colin
