ToXIcG Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 So I've been looking at replacing the front floor mats in my Zetec (not bothered about the rear) and im kinda going towards the rubber ones because they will be longer lasting and I like the design of them. I'm just wondering whether you guys think they would look out of place in my Zetec? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke4efc Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 At least they'll be easy to clean. I liked the look of the checker plate style rubber mats, can get them in different colours and look quite smart. Couldn't find any that were specifically designed for the Fiesta though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosteri Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Have you checked Weathertech matts? I like the look, they protect even behind the gas pedal and are nice to clean. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarksST Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Why would mats designed for a fiesta look out of place in a fiesta? i have them in my ST during the winter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been told that you slip on them when they're wet and they accumulate water, is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobr Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 They are certainly more slippery than carpet mats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better on the mats than soaked into the carpet and foam.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E TEA 66 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I had a set of rubber mats for 3 years and had no issue with my feet slipping on them and tbh I've been considering another set as their a lot easier to keep clean then velour . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I've had plenty of slippery rubber mats, they used to be the OEM ones in late 90s/early 00's Peugeots. Found they wore pretty quickly where heels went and didn't remove any water from soles so shoes slipped on the pedals as well as the mats...the squeak of sole on clutch gets annoying quickly lol! Plus they went grey and looked awful...anything you put on them to bring the colour back makes them even more slippery... The velour ones are stupid expensive for Fords, but don't seem to stain or trap dirt, a quick hoover every 6 months or so and they still look fine after ~10 years. Just wish I had a full set in the Focus...for some reason I have 3 of the thin crap OE carpet ones and one nice black velour one on the drivers front! If they didn't cost more than a tank of fuel for a full new set I'd have them all round personally. Soak up water efficiently but don't stain or wear quickly in my experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I have some carpet mats which I've been told were off an ST. If your worried about liquids soaking into the carpets try gtechniq smart fabric. It makes the liquid bead over the fabric. Will also try and get pics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Here's one picture which you can kind of see the mats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveostit14 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Hi all, i got set of front rubber mats from amazon for £25.56 fit perfect on my 2014 ecoboost, always use rubber mats in winter and swop back to carpet in the spring, no problem with slipping and look great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
