Seatcovers or not

[Creampuff]

Just curious...who has seatcovers and who doesn't?
I have sheepskins with a Ford emblem sewn into headrest,I think it looks cool.

[crannersEL]

Yeah i picked up some seat covers because my seats were starting to wear in some places. Got some Ford ones from Kmart.

I think i am getting some for chrissy. Seatcovers guys.

[4.9 EF Futura]

Nah i dont... have been contemplating getting some as the EF driver's seat is starting to look a bit ratty... but then, kinda fits in with the overall roughness of the car, lol.

Unbelievable how much you can spend on sheepskins!!!

You guys had any luck finding them for the back?

[TheSneakiness]

I have Ford seat covers in black that I got from Super Cheap, believe it or not.

[red_hotxr6]

Wool itches the cr.. out of me.

Never!

[superpursuit83]

Getting some hard wearing custom fit denim type material for my Super pursuit seats (GT-P). Will have logo and fancy bits, stitching etc. About 300 each (not cheap). Should look good

But worth it, I am wearing some stitching already in seats.

You guys had any luck finding them for the back?

Yeah anyone had any luck ?? My missus wants some for her BA XT

got my FPV seat covers.
makes it go way faster on the AU

No seatcovers here for two reasons.

1. I've got side airbags and covers that suit cost an arm and 2 legs
2. Its the first car ive had thats had a velour interior, so i figure its a shame to hide it.

Used to have sheepskins on my Falcon though.

Have FPV seats on the from and the back (all from Autobarn), only got them to protect the seats from not only wearing but getting dirty and fading.

Sheepskins (if you can stand them) are the best to get as my mum has sheepskin covers and has had them since 1987. All she does is gives them a clean and there very good. You can see after having a car for 10 years when you take the covers off that the car seats look the same as when you bought the car.

ive got one in the boot for when im filthy after work, although leather isnt hard to clean id rather not get it dirty in the first place

[WizBang]

My seats are getting a bit old so yes I put seat covers on them to tidy the front up

[Jeld-Wen Falcon]

Sheep shagger seat covers.. Say that real fast!

[The Monty]

V8 supercar ones.

[Marlin_Girl]

I have those Ford ones everyone else has...! I like the look without too but i mainly have them to protect the seats.

[Perana]

My EA Ghia doesnt have covers.
The ED has those Grey Ford ones though like everyone else has lol

[-jjM-]

my seats are alrdy gone, but even if they wernt i still wouldnt have, look ghey

[tick5.0]

I have a nylon wurth seat cover in the boot for when I get filthy. Machine washable, water proof and best of all oil and grease resistant.

My Fairmont also has seat covers, but only to keep the foam and vinyl fragments contained.

Same ones for me $29 or something like that ... saves the driver's seat heaps ... especially doing courier work (getting in and out of the uet all of the time) ... plus matches my black interior nicely.

The $30 or so saves having to replace your seats overtime.
Easy to clean as well (can't put your seat in the washing machine ... covers you can) ... or just buy new covers if you are picky ... LOL

You drive a ford you look after your car and that means the seats as well. :

I got leather. And I got a $25 Kmart sheepskin cover on my seat.

Why? You may well ask.

Because somehow or other the beetle who owned the car before me incorrectly treated the leather, and the dye comes out on the back of my shirts.

A motor trimmer has told me that the only way to fix it is to re-cover it. That would be fine, except the dark graphite leather seat skins are now NLA from Ford.

I could, of course, see if a motor trimmer could match it "near enough". I've made few phone calls though, and none of the trimmers I've spoken too seem to confident about it.

And I'm not about to go to the expense of re-covering the whole lot to make it match.

So far as second-hand goes, the dark graphite was about the least popular of the AU leather choices. I haven't come across any suitable used seats.

Unless I see something come up on eBay, it looks like I'll have to put up with the smell of Kmart on the morning.

[big_pete]

i do, but only because the seats had HUGE stains on them.

otherwise i woudnt have them at all

i believe FTG auto salvage (site sponsor) is selling a complete grey leather ghia interior.... might be worth you sending them a PM
