My drivers seat is beginning to look a bit tatty aftert 4 years of driving, its the back that seems to take the wear. My trim is the grey/black fabric, I am not sure what the exact terminology is for the style. Anyone have the covers going? Or suggestions, I dont really want the expense of changing to leather.

I'm afraid i don't know what the fabric is Norman, but if you get lucky, you might come across someone going to leather and bag a nice replacement cover. If you take your time with it, fitting isn't too bad. Other than that, the best value retrims lately have been lsc interiors. They do use varying finishes and colours if you fancy going that way. Alternative is to contact mr t and get a price for new covers. I have no idea how much they'd be.

MrT replacement covers are insanely expensive. If you plan to stick with standard fabric, Nigel's option is possibly your best bet. You could try a "Want to Buy" in the wanted section of the ROC Marketplace and may get lucky. I believe the rear portion is interchangeable between Pass and Driver seats so you should find something without excessive signs of seat belt and side bolster wear. Styles vary between pre and post facelift though.

There is a rear section on ebay for the passenger seat but if these can be used on the drivers side then this may be an option.
