Would the colour of the mats have been optional with this spec, or have the original blue mats been replaced with black ones?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello everyone I'm a new 996 owner - a manual 2002 C2 cabriolet in silver with metropole leather interior and hood. My question is about the floor mats. My car has black mats and they don't look quite right. Would the colour of the mats have been optional with this spec, or have the original blue mats been replaced with black ones? Has anyone bought new metropole mats from Design911 or Porscheshop? They are described as 'Original", but metropole is quite a weird colour and I'm concerned that the shade might not match the interior carpet. Thanks

POST 2Original post

:welcome: to 911uk My 996 Turbo had a Metropole blue interior and black mats. I'm pretty sure they were in the car from new. In most lights the interior looked black anyway so it was never an issue for me. In my experience any replacement mats available on the market now - even direct from Porsche - are of far inferior quality than they were 10 years ago so unless yours are really tatty you might want to stick with them anyway.

POST 3Original post

The matts are new, genuine Porsche - the match is not perfect by any means:

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Guys Think I'll keep the black mats as the colour match with the metropole ones in the photo.....isn't!

POST 5Original post

I've just picked up a NOS set of 4 grey mats off ebay. My 2 original front mats were black. Whilst the new mats dont exactly colour match the grey interior they look fine and better than the black plus I've got rears now which I wanted. Carpets do fade over time so I think the mismatch is because of this rather than incorrect colour of the new mats. Ian
