Sorry to say I don't think any Novas came with black carpet.

[Jack]

Aye, none had black carpet. You'd need to paint it.

Dark grey was the closest!

[benthehash]

lol did it work alright on the carpet mike?

we sprayed my brothers old parcle shelf in his gsi lol had a sketchy texture lol

[dannyb]

The dyeing idea sounds good, make sure the dye is suited to working on synthetic materials as I believe that Nova carpet is made from nylon-y stuff. If it works, you might be able to make a bit of a small industry doing it over the summer and work on an exchange basis!!

my mates a carpet-fitter by trade, do novas need underlay and grippers ??

[lee coley]

yes and them metal strips under the doors

[loggyboy]

Im sure there were some early MK1 that had black carpet.

lol no! unless you consider the sound proofing or the insulation as underlay. and as for grippers the step pannels hold the carpet in place.

[draper]

underlay weighs to much anyway lol
