Has anyone ever replaced their carpet on the floor, or the material on the roof... or recovered it? I hate the horrid grey colour.

could be wrong though!

I would imagine it would have to be a stiff card backed like carpet, im guessing there is more than just the fittings holding it down as it holds very snug around the corners and curves of the floor, dont know what sort of adhesive would be used mind.
SOMEONE MUST HAVE DONE THIS!

surely u could get some carpet, not to thick stuff, get some spray glue and do it that way, would be tricky i bet tho, i used to do lorry interior walls this way when i works at a coach builders. looked good aswell if u took ur time, just hope they didnt want to take it off! lol!

Carpet does just lift out once you have removed everything.

Then a replacement carpet would have to be stuck in, as the original must be moulded to shape.

your forgetting the corsa carpet isnt just carpet
it is moulded it hold a certain shape it is made by a press so it fits
i fitted a crpet to a fiat panda
the floor in this is by far simpler and at the edges i stil had trouble cutting it to bend correctly
but im sure with the right carpet and a skilled fitter it is possible but to go down your local store buy one and fit it it will go wrong i got away with mine because i had a simple floor pand to work on
it is a large and tricky job

the roof will be much simpler
take the roof card down and get fabric say balck anduse timebond or spray glue fabric glue and it should be done as there are a lot less bends twists in the roof card
