    Coco mats color choice

    I have not been able to decide on the Coco mat color for my car.
    The 911 1971 coupe is olive outside and beige inside. (Factory)
    With beige velour carpet.
    The photos are not mine, and are 356, but represent my car pretty well.
    I can chose between:
    1. Black with beige dots.
    2. Beige with off-white dots.
    3. Calico stripes.

    I think black and calico are period correct.

    Can someone help me, with good advice?

    Scott,

    I use to tend to the dark versions, as the dirt is not visable immediately.
    Otherwise I would always think: „vacuum clean...i have to...“
    So number one would be the option for me

    #2 looks best but a black is hard to beat for keeping things clean.
    Early S Registry #235
    rgruppe #111

    Also agree number 2 looks the best, if you can keep it clean go with number 2.

    I personally like the contrast of #1. these are a few pics of my later model Carrera i sold recently with champagne/black interior.
    I think #2 is good, but, man, hard to keep clean. #1 is easy maintenance. And the contrast looks nice.

    #1 as well, #2 would be Calico.... kinda like that as it's different. Assuming the source is Cocomats.com (they make the best) you have an attractive third option: sisal mats in olive.

    bernd,

    cocomats are not available in D. Rare sales on ebay, but pricing is mostly too high.
    just order directly@cocomats, they do ship fast and the customs is done directly via fed ex...perfect service and outstanding delivery. if you want the tunnel mat you do have to mention at the order...

    Thumbs up

    Hello Bernd,
    if I understand the page of Cocomats.com correctly probably not.
    Would also be interested in a set of mats, maybe we have to do together to a bulk order?!
    Best regards from the district of Tübingen
