Yeah, you'll have to bleach them for sure. It might turn out really sh*t though. Might be best to source some tan carpets and dye them?

You'll end up with a real mess if you try and dye black carpet red.
Heaven only knows what colour it will actually turn out, probably a purplish-tan colour.

Get some new red carpets.
It's only a small car, so they won't cost too much.

or just buy some red carpets.
they are available.

Yep, that is true. Probably not a significant saving going second hand, but new ones will look a million times better.
