I have used Evo Stick (B&Q / Homebase) before on my bug with success, but its quite tricky and time consuming. Make sure the area is really dry and clean - no dust. The best way is to cut your carpet to the panel size then warm it up with a hair dryer. Whilst the carpet is still warm mould it around the area to be carpeted then apply a thin film of glue to both carpet and panel. Let the glue dry slightly then carefully place the carpet down, you won't get much time to move the carpet into position until its stuck fast!
Good luck!

I second that, its that evostick in a red pot.... dont smell it else it'll make you go dizzy & dont get it on your hands. when i did my carpets i stuck them in and then placed bricks ontop to keep them in place untill it all dried.
