Title: Seat covers
Post by: MR2Al on November 19, 2020, 16:08
I need to replace my seat covers, does any body have any recommendations please? Car is 54 plate and has red/grey cloth seats.

Thanks, Al.

Probably cheaper to buy some s/h ones, even leather.

Matching your two-tone seats will be very difficult.

You might try our breaker and see what he might have.People tend to go for leather -so cloth seats are usually cheap.  You might want two matching passenger seats so one of the seat backs can be swapped over, as the driver's side usually has a worn -out bolster.

I have leather in my daily and cloth in the supercharged car.  The cloth holds me better and is more comfortable. Leather is more durable and easier to keep clean... just depends what floats yer boat!

Not necessarily looking to match originals, decent(possibly grey)aftermarket ones would be ok, I have a set of decent pre facelift leather seats & door cards from my previous written off car which I intended to put in this car 5 yrs ago but decided I preferred the less slippery original cloth ones.
I will have a look in the breakers section.

Thanks, Al.
