I went back to the paint shop today and got some Covert paint and while chatting to Bill the owner he showed me a water based paint he has for doing vinyl/leather seats and carpet/velour....

I have to say the painted velour and carpet he had was brilliant, it didn't feel painted at all. You have to do a bit of prep work, cleaning the carpet well, spraying a prep solution and then the paint but it will be excellent stuff for those with unobtainable carpet colours like Covert, Sienna ect.

Buy some new moulded carpet in a light colour and paint it to suit your trim. If you give him a sample of your old carpet from under a panel he will colour match it for you....
