ive had my Black Designer 6months nowand so far i have... * Removed the head and manifolds * Stripped the interior and boot *Refurbished the block and head and refitted them with new gaskets *refurbished the manifolds *removed clocks and black surronds *refitted the clocks bracket and clocks *fitted black clubman rear seats *refurbished the carpets She still needs loads of work to her including... *fitting a battery, distributer, coil, wiring loom and need to purchase a rocker post lock plate to get her refurbished head and engine running. * also need to do a lot of welding and need to get plenty of repair panels because her body in many places is rotten. She also needs new doors aswell because the originals are also rotten. *most of the original parts are missing but i am refurbishing the 1's i already have and hoping to purchase missing 1's including trim, interior, badges and new decals. Will post again when further work is done. Chris   |

but i would also like the grey carpets as i think they suit the car more! am maybe going to purchase interior towards the end of the rebuild/restoration so i dont have to keep them in storage and would finish it off nicely!! Chris |

that would probably be better for you
because if you dont have the space to store them the likely hood is it will get ruined while waiting to go in the car

Yep!! You need to speak to a company called Tamar Embroideries (Google 'em). Ask for two Mary Quant badges. I gave them the pattern from mine Part with £30 and you'll have nice bright red ones from them in a few days time. Incidentally, Designer carpets are jet black... and either Retro Retrims or Minitrimmings might help you with door cards. |

the thing with this is though mich you do have to point out - children they are a felted badge you stick on they dont actualy re-embroider your seats! there not bad but there not orignal  the sad thing is chris alot of people rubbed or some even perposly scratched off the mary quant bit so you couldnt see it just so they had strioed seats! sad but true but yeh that is an idea do what mich did but do remember it is like a name tag that you stick over the original with velcro |

The original badges weren't embroidered anyway, Pretz, they were hot-pressed felted rubber and having made enquiries myself they'd cost something like £90 A BADGE to recreate. ><
