Default New Logo Carpet Mats

I couldn't find OEM Audi carpet mats with an "SQ5" logo so I went aftermarket. Autostyle.co.uk does custom mats in a variety of colors plus they include a logo of your specification. I chose black (a tad darker than OEM anthracite) with dark grey trim/red stitch and black SQ5 logo. The mats are well made and about 50% thicker than OEM. Cost 95L shipped.

Nice looking mats. I bought a set from them for my B7 s4 back in 2008 so they've been around for a while.

Thanks! I like them enough where I just might order a summer set (in red). It gets very hot and sunny here (Nevada) by summer. Stay warm and dry MonzaAvant

HD, those look nice. I'm curious how they can do that logo.

They have a cool stitching machine, I suppose. I concocted the image (font, color, size) and sent it to them and they produced it exactly. If you look closely, the font type and style, colors, are different from the OEM badge so maybe copyright concerns were not an issue.

Those are sharp matts!

Just a tip, grab a can of scotch guard spray from your local auto parts store, and soak the SQ5 logo. Keeps it clean and mint looking (I pressure wash my matts in the spring, spray with scotch guard, and it typically lasts all year).

Thanks! Scotch Gard it is...I was wondering how to keep the colors sharp.

Just curious as to why you aren't using the OEM mats?

No really good reason other than the OEM mats were a bit thin and plain (no logo).

Just wondering. Since I live in the northeast, I find the rubber mats the best. When I took delivery of my car, I gave the mats back to the fellas in the parts department. Had forgotten what they looked like.
Yours look nice......
