This topic came up a while back. You can actually get carpet "dye" in a spray can at the autoparts store. I tried it out on the faded carpet on the back of the rear seats. Actually came out ok.

A friend of mine who used to own a show winning Corvette with black carpet used to swear by a light spraying of black paint from an aerosol can.
I freshen mine up with a stiff brush and amonia heavilly diluted in water.

Bones,
Go here: http://www.npacorp.com/products/molecubond.html See if they have a UK or Euro supplier! HD, I am in the same situation as you are with lighter colored carpets and would like to make mine black, without spending the $300 that it takes for new ones! Might try here: http://www.worlduph.com/semdye.htm This looks like an idea and if I try it will let you know. Joe
