    I wouldn't try making your own out of carpet. The original carpet is moulded around alot of the floor pan. Trying to create this with normal carpet will results in loads of creases and also it will not lay right.

    If your going to make your own, the best way to do it would be to remove your old carpet, get a thin carpet of the desired colour.
    
    Fit it to the original carpet and glue it all down, maybe build up a few layers to make it stronger, i wouldnt advise making a brand new carpet as already said the original is shaped to the floor.
    
    OR
    
    Just bleach to original carpet and re-colour.

    the s2 rallye comes with a really nice blue carpet. straight swap for the saxo item dont bother manking one it will look rubbish as the standard item is moulded wheras yours will be a pain to remove once fitted.
    
    hope this helps

    rrr im not sure which glue to use, a strong adesive though, i would think any good upholstery warhouse would sell a good glue to use.....
    
    As for bleaching i have never tired it personaly, een told to do it a few times but never seen it done....

    +1 to that.
    
    Got my red one out of a 106 (Sure it was an S1 rallye though?)
    
    Fits pretty much like a glove if i'm honest.. Just around the front of the door, it comes away a little bit (prolly glue down if i'm honest.. never bothered me).. but yeah.. pretty easy
