Newly trimmed OE seat covers from Lee Pattison, well happy with them.

What kind of condition were your seats in before Mike? These look great!

They were OK, but were starting to look a bit tired. E.g. the drivers seat had a wear mark on the side bolster (granted that could have been redyed), the drivers seat base had a small tear on the vinyl, and as the scrim foam backing on the seats has disintegrated the ruching was starting too look a little saggy (more evident on the seat bases)

Mike your seats really weren't that bad beforehand - I'm feeling bad about mine now!

Yours must be proper plush, now with the puffy side cards too :D What floor mats are you running?

:) You can tell the difference between the old covers and the new. The old ones are hard, the dye on the leather wearing in places, and the vinyl cracking. The new covers are soft and supple, and padded.

Still running the original 80's thick pile mats
