hey
right, the nova is a daily user for me and kelbelle, so a lot of driving etc, i have floor mats in the seat and the driver one is always rubbing through. its the carpet material.

a few questions, do rubber ones wear through as well.

or does anyone have any tips for us to stop going through them so often?

I found rubber ones last slightly longer but are more slippy when wet. I now have chequer plate ones of Ebay in my daily driver and want some custom tailered ones for my saloon when I find somewhere that does them

Slip a carpet floor title in there. They are much harder wearing. Doesnt look as nice tho but works.

Rubber floor mats are ok, the misses has them in her Ka. Absolute nightmare when wet though...

I won some for the Nova off e-bay, was chuffed as they were Genuine Vauxhall items.
When they arrived, they're clearly for an Astra H. :tard:

I'll be contacting the above company.

I use rubber ones from Morrisons lol. Scrapyardtastic. Don't slip off em when wet either.

BMW156, tell her to stop poking her heels through them. I reckon that's the main issue. lol
