Carpet mats are the simplest and most cost-effective protection for the original cabin carpet, and a fresh set immediately lifts the appearance of any 20-year-old interior. MGOC Spares stocks tailored mat sets that match the original MG factory-fit pattern, moulded to the footwell shape with the correct heel pad and securing eyelets to engage the original mat clips. The ZR carpet mat sets are catalogued as the shared Rover 200 / 25 / ZR pattern in Ash Grey, available as right-hand drive (EAH103060LNF) and left-hand drive (EAH103070LNF) variants, the only difference between the two is the position of the wider driver's mat and the heel pad placement. The MG ZT mat set is catalogued separately (EAH000180LNF) in Ash Grey to suit the Rover 75-derived ZT footwell shape.
ZR, ZS and ZT Mat Fitments
The ZR mat set covers all UK ZR variants from the 105 to the 160, in pre-facelift and post-facelift form, in 3-door and 5-door body styles. The Ash Grey colour suits the standard ZR interior trim and is the most widely catalogued colour in the MG Rover-era range. ZS-specific mat sets are not currently listed at MGOC Spares but the ZS uses the same general carpet mat pattern as the Rover 45, which is widely available through the wider Rover Group specialist network. The ZT mat set is sized to suit the wider Rover 75 / ZT footwell with a deeper heel pad and a slightly different securing eyelet position.
Mats are supplied as a four-piece set covering driver, front passenger and both rear footwells. Original mat clip studs in the floor pan should be inspected before fitting new mats, corroded or missing clips should be replaced with the original-pattern fasteners to keep the mats secure.
Ordering Considerations
When ordering, the priority information is the car (ZR or ZT), the drive side (left-hand or right-hand) and the colour preference where a choice exists. Most ZRs and ZTs left the factory with Ash Grey mats as standard. Aftermarket rubber mats are also available from the wider specialist network for owners who want heavier-duty winter protection over the original carpet. Fitting is straightforward, simply position each mat over the original clip studs and press down to engage.
The mats should sit flat without bunching at the bulkhead or sliding under the pedals, and any mat that catches on the accelerator or brake should be removed and refitted before driving the car.
