Anyone have Black mats with Beige interior?

Re: Anyone have Black mats with Beige interior? (dlachnic)

I do. I got rid of the beige mats within the first month of ownership. The beige mats get dirty real fast and look like crud afterwards. I got the OE black mats instead which echo the black dash and upper door panels.

ditto. It looks fine.

Re: Anyone have Black mats with Beige interior? (dlachnic)

Also same here. What a difference; and looks great.

Re: Anyone have Black mats with Beige interior? (dlachnic)

I'm considering the exact same thing.

Re: Anyone have Black mats with Beige interior? (dlachnic)

I have black mats and they look great. The original beige mats are a joke, they get dirty fast.

Re: Anyone have Black mats with Beige interior? (dlachnic)

Yeah, I've pretty much decided to do this, too. I've only had the car for 2 months and already the carpets look like crap, even after being shaken out & vaccumed. I haven't seen the black floor mats but at this point I don't think I'd even care if it didn't match perfectly... but like SW said it should match the black dash OK.

From these posts, I can't figure out if people are getting black carpet mats as replacements or not. I agree with everyone that the beige carpet mats are horrible. I got tired of cleaning them all the time, so I cleaned them one more time to get them looking nice and stuck them in the basement.
I got the factory black rubber floor mats. They are great. They have an upturned lip at the edges that keeps water in the center of them so you can carefully pull them out and dump them. Also they utilize the same posts to keep them in place. It's money well spent.

The black Lloyds mats looks great w/ the beige interior, matches the dash. Hides dirt also.

Anyone who has this combo care to take a quick photo and post it?
I was just thinking about the same thing the other day (not that we even have our Passat yet...)
Thanks!

Looks great in these pictures.
Just a question about the beige interior. When I saw a few beige interior cars at the dealer, they actually looked very yellowish rather than beige or tan. Did VW change the shade of beige, was it just a bad batch, or the colors in the picutre aren't exactly accurate?

I just ordered the VW Monster matts in black (any color you want, as long as it's black), and I have a Beige interior... if this thread can be found... I'll post a pic... I've seen it before, and it actually looks pretty good.

Re: Anyone have Black mats with Beige interior? (av_audi)

AV: they changed the tan collor to more of a "butterscotch" with the B5.5. The most accurate color match is the underside of the dash, first pic.
