      I have seen black carpet in an E30, whether it was stock or not is the question.

      The carpet that is in my American E30 is so filthy. I bought it a couple of days ago, and it is trashed. So I plan on shampooing it and dying it.

          i swore that was black, i guess it was dark dark charcoal..

          How does one go about dying carpet, is it easy and will it turn out nicely?

          i would like to dye my tan carpet black b/c it is so stained and dirty (Leaky vert is to blame)

              Mine's charcoal grey too. I prefer it to just black, because the car would look like a cave if everything were totally black.

              I've been thinking about adding a little more color as it is.

                  Maybe changing the color of some of the leather, like the handbrake boot or the shift boot, maybe adding some chrome accents...maybe reupholstering the seat centers.

                  I dunno yet.

                      How do you "dye" the carpet? I've tried with liquid dye and it just doesn't stay... Any ideas?

                            are there two different greys?

                            I bought a grey but it doesn't look anywhere *near* black. Did I get an OEM light grey instead of the dark charcoal grey?
                            Das ist nicht nur nicht richtig, es ist nicht einmal falsch!

                                Yeah, I've seen both I think.

                                I need to find a picture of a local buddy's old car.
