S2 VS TC carpets whats the differance?
« on: Friday,October 09, 2020, 01:52:04 PM »
I have been offered a new carpet set for a TC Europa (free) but I have a S2. What would the difference be and could it be made to work? He also has some of the carpet material in a roll that I could use if needed.
Thanks as always for any info.

If you look at AutoMats website, their carpet kit is for all Europa models, no differentiation between the S2 or TC.

I thought the TC cockpit got bigger. Or was it S1 -> S2 that got bigger?

Free, I would make it work. ^-^ I know the seats are different as far as rake so the back is a little different. I'm sure some on here will know definitively.

 :)  Ditto !

Especially as you have access to more of the same material, it's a no-brainer !

I don't know the detail changes but the cockpit was enlarged for the TC, it's mentioned in several period road tests. Apart from the seat angle (which might not make a big  difference to the carpets ?) they enlarged the footwells to give a bit more room. As those areas are well out of sight you should be able to sort something out with extra material. 

A quick look at the parts manuals for the S2/TC shows only minor differences - footwells and the treatment at the rear of the central tunnel. I'd reckon if the carpets were free it's worth a shot !
