Happy Birthday Rich, do you have mats already?
It's the first thing I remove from the drivers side footwell.
I find the OEM mats slowly move up and prevent full pedal movement.
There are ways to secure them but prefer not to.
So, if you find you don't have full throttle at a given time, check the mat first before stripping the engine apart :D

Rich. IIRC there can be a minor glitch...reported by Tompion...that the (img) must be in lower case. If you look at Cosrays post with the picture he quotes it the same way. Does that help?. ;)
You could also go to [?Help] at the top of the page. Once the page opens click on 'posting' and there are two examples of img which may also help. ;)

NB you can't 'upload', you have to have it hosted on another web site, 'img' is just a link to another web address.

E.g., the images are stored on photobucket or wherever.

Managed to get the mats of the wife (before my birthday) and have got to say im impressed , they fit nicely no problems regarding the pedals . The embossed "ford scorpio" looks good , not to big and flash , nice and discreet . As you may know im having a bit of a mare. Uploading photos so once ive sussed it i'll post a picture of them Btw the wife got them fromm simplycarmats.co.uk , 40squid all in .
