Car carpet repair

Hi all,
I need some help with my car carpet. I have a hole on the carpet as I found out the caused of the hole was coming from the leaks in the brake servo. I will need to seal on the brake servo to prevent the water to get through it and I will need to repair the carpet but I dont know what type of material I will need to get and how to repair it.

Do you know what material is the same as my carpet?
And do you know how I can patch it to put over it?

Thanks in advance.

    Can you not get some fitted car mats to cover it.

    Yes I am going to do that but i need to repair the hole first.

    Do you know what type of material i can get for my car carpet that I could use to patch over?

    I think my car carpet is grey or mid grey material, but I am not really sure.

    One of the front seats. Push them right back and look to see if there's a join where you can take a bit off. Why do you "need" to repair it if you're going to cover it anyway?

    It might be better calling out a local car trim repairer to do the job for you.
