    Hello,

    I’m new here and have just bought a ‘99 360 Modena with low KMs that apparently still has the clear plastic wrapping over most of the carpets from new.

    I’m itching to take it off but before I do I’d like to know if it’s truly been there for the past 20 years... as I don’t want to undo 20 years of hard work!

    Is it feasible this has been there since new??

    Cheers, Doug

    Congrats on your new purchase.

    Are you "saving the carpets" for the next owner? Take it off and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

    Use it, that's why they built it :)

    Yep that’s what I am thinking, just it must have taken discipline for the past owners to have left it there for the past 20 years especially when it was new!!

    I remember my grandparents did that in the 60's, couldn't even sit on them.

    One of my F cars I did not drive much, 1000 miles in 2 years. Did not want to add miles, add wear, etc. When I sold it I took a 50K bath and I vowed never again would I not drive or use or mod my cars as I saw fit.

    that was most likely rewrapped by the dealer, they usually do that to make it look more valuable

    I believe that's a dealer wrap when they detailed the car

    …not sure about that… My 550 has some parts of the carpets still coverted as well. They left the factory like that…

    Sure, can be removed, but some will look for them…

    Agree. Mine had this as well. Had not been there for 40 years.
