I’m looking for some new mats for my NB but it seems that all the ones I can find advertised have just one hole/fixing point for the drivers side, and my car had two fixing points in the drivers footwell.
Is my car an anomaly or am looking in the wrong place for mats? Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions?
The NA and NB factory mats, where there was a fixing point, was always of a single hook. Yours probably has had an aftermarket set fitted.
MX5parts supplies a hook to enable the factory mats to be fitted:

Thank you! Does that clip just secure through the carpet?
The original clip fixed to a hole underneath the carpwt, between the seat runners. I thought all NAs, NBs already had a hole here.
The original clip looked like this:
But in metal. A plastic lift-the-centre stud fixed it to the hole, and then you hooked the mat to the other end.
That’s great thank you. It’s amazing how easily it is to get distracted from more important jobs by the small annoying ones!
