I would advise against the Lloyds mats. I bought the plain black ones from PP. The material is nice but frankly the design sucks. First, they aren't a full mat. They don't extend all the way up around the pedals like the original carpets. They stop short just below the pedals.
The other problem is that since they don't extend all the way up, they really need to be held down. They come with these plastic screw-in things, that you are supposed to install in the original carpet. (Not the best idea for concourse weenies who wouldn't want to drill holes in their factory carpet.)
The problem is that these plastic hold-downs are located exactly where you find the knobs in the floor boards that the factory carpets hook in to. You can't even use these hold-downs even if you did want to drill holes in your carpets. Lloyds obviously didn't do their research on the 914. It seems like these problems would have been obvious if anyone at the company had ever actually lived with the mats in a 914 for a week.
