Hi there has any one used there they do vinyl leather look seat covers for front and back £185 which sounds ok. Just wondered if any one had any dealings with them

Used real leather from
Them. Very good.

Mixed reports on vinyl as some say it doesn't wet very well on the bolsters.

Fit on mine were good but wasn't the easiest of jobs.

See them on my thread.

Cheers fella il have a look at your thread and im not posh enough for real leather lol.

Ginner has letherette in black his look reasly good

After reading your thread looks like il get some seat foam stuff and buy some every thread I've read about doin it yourself is about takin your time and gettin it tight and for £185 its got to be worth giving it ago

Now all i need is my hammer which i use for every job lol

Hi, we used them and are pleased with the results. The instructions we got suggested we fit covers over existing trim but that was rubbish. old trim must be removed and we are fairly happy with the results, but you do get what you paid for. If you get door card trim too, please note that they are cut for the round speaker door pocket type not the long rectangle type as in our clipper, if that makes sense.  

Definately!

You'll be fine! With extra padding you'll get a really nice tight fit too!

If you get stuck, give me a shout. I'm no expert, but I spent days trying to get it right! Lots of swearing too…..

Good luck.

cheers pal goin to order it tonight and make a start on interior in may i think but get ready for some daft questions comin your way lol

Palmer's top tip - use a bit of plastic bag over the top of the foam seat backs - helps new covers slide over.

Good luck!

Cheers for the tip il give it a try when i fit it i may do a thread to say how i find it has i think its a good money saver especially if i do a ok job means any one can do it lol has patience and little fiddley things defiantly are not my strong points

Well the seat covers are ordered so il get pics up when they get here

i have leatherette in black but i have drove in the car but it does have a massive difference on the look, like people have said it in the past it depends if your using it as a daily or not coz it will wear quicker than real leather

No its not used daily spends winter in garage and gets driven in dry weather twice a week or so. Think it should be fine as at that price im not expecting it to last for years and years

Hello bud,

How have you gotten on with these?  I'm thinking about some for my cabby - like you my car isn't used loads so I'm looking at the leatherette ones.  Would be good to know what you think of them!

Waiting on delivery should be next week they say about 17 working days for delivery as soon as they come il get some pics up. Can't wait for them to come now so i can start on interior and sort my door cards out

Coolio, I keep an eye out - very interested in how you get on with them!

these are mine fitted ok

Going to be using them to do my seats in leatherette once I've found a set of front gti seats!!!!!!!! they will be fitting them though as although I feel this is something I could do myself I can also see me having a mare and spitting my dummy out if they don't fit as i would like, so going to leave it up to the pro's.

Dan

Oh il be spitting dummy out and prob start fitting them with my favorite tool the hammer but that's the fun lol. Im goin to try and make some sun visors too got the design sorted just need to see if i can get it from my head and out of my hands lol

Mine are black and grey centres too but diamond stitching
