I decided to give my '24 touring some new carpets, as the first set I made were getting a bit worse for wear! I made the new ones from durable carpet tiles, joined together. I found the carpet tiles to be heavier than normal carpet, and as a result, it doesn't keep skidding around!
Let me know what you think

Neat concept, but will the adhesive withstand the hot sun?

The carpet isnt glued to the floor, its just sitting there, it has a sort of non-slip grip surface on the back, which is sitting directly on the original rubber mat underneath.

Ok so you adhered the self stick carpet tiles to a mat of some sort. Curious because I wanted to carpet my car but having it removable with a thin flexible rubber backing I could seal the pedal gaps up a little without interference, for winter cruising.
