Default FPV Seat Covers

Yeah ok seat covers are a bit lame (but do serve a purpose), but my seats are re bolstered and retrimmed and I want them to stay looking good.

I have a FPV tarp, and I was after some FPV seat covers (the black and grey ones) to match.

They used to be everywhere, Ive been to ricer-barn, supercrap, Big W, Balls'n'Bumpers and no one knows where to get them anymore. I went to the local Ford dealership and they have NFI as usual.

Anyone know where you can get them? The guys at ricer-barn where going on about some licensing dispute, which could be true as they used to be everywhere.

FPV in Campbellfeild (Glenbarry RD?) had them last time I was there...

But you are right, they no longer seem to be in the usual retail outlets...
Personally I cannot stand seat covers... :P

Sheepskin covers give more comfort and can sometimes suit a car.
Check mine on the b-series site!

I have asked this before ... the company doesn't make them anymore ... I am looking for a replacement set for my ute .... but there aren't any new around anymore.

Booooo.

Speak to B2TF about it ... I think Sperling was the company that made them ... they have stopped the design now.

Shame really ... I want a spare set to replace the driver's one (as I wear them quickly) ... and have a spare for later on.

www.sperling.com.au

I think my next ones will end up being the V8 Supercar ones available.

yep i had the black/grey ford covers with matching custom rears. but can no longer get the fronts to match so i brought the v8 supercar ones and they're great. they wear longer and seem to have extra padding- much more comfy when doing long trips.

p.s. i got mine from stoopid-cheap

Yeah I have been looking into these for a while through work as we have a few people who were after them.

Sperling stopped making them in their last design rotation so they are limited to whatever stock is on hand in stores now. Im obviously limited to Autobarn stores but Im trying to track some down and if I have any luck I'll let you know.
