On the carpet front, here iOS what I received from KOVVAR (tapisvoiture.fr) in Europe (Yurp)
Cost was approximately 70 Euros, but drivers side unusable.
just in case someone was looking to purchase from them (customer service is inexistant)

The "glue" smell is not from the bonded aluminium, but the glass reinforced fibre. Just stick you head in the boot "trunk in the US" and breath in....Typical Lotus smell.
