I'm not sure there is a UK based manufacturer of Corvette carpeting, but Corvette Kingdom is UK based and can supply them - you'll have to wait for them to be imported though - typically 2 to 3 weeks.

Any of the major US corvette parts suppliers can supply the correct carpet. Additional suppliers like ACC will also supply correct replacements. Worth doing the maths for both UK and USA prices, as UK suppliers will have to import anyway unless they happen to have a set laying about.
If you import you will have duty and VAT to pay on top of the goods and shipping. Sounds frightening, but sometimes it’s not to bad.

As the other guys said , by all means try the recommended UK Corvette specialists first but also ckeck out Ecklers Corvette in the States for comparison prices and then factor in Import charges and taxes . I imported a full carpet set complete with all the insert pieces required from them . All original factory spec colours are available for each model year . Back in 2016 the set cost me £287.99 plus £76.39 for duty, fees, and VAT . I guess there will be a hike on that cost now after 6 years and the current $ / £ exchange rate .Thanks very much for that. Good advice and I’ll get onto it

That’s the problem now with buying goods in the US, the terrible exchange rate, especially if your doing the deal by bank/credit card, as the rate is even worse.
Import charges, VAT etc is the same for everyone, private individuals or businesses. Plenty of shipping options out there.
The big boys of corvette parts supply, ie Ecklers, Corvette Central, Zip, Paragon etc all often have specials on interior parts so worth keeping an eye on them. Sometimes as much as 20-25 %.
Buy wisely for a great deal.
Good hunting.
