Check with Bennoz as he did a great job on his seats and was going to help me with those covers you bought from me on my car.

He would know best.

Hope you don't mind Bennoz !!!

You shoulda got new zips with the new covers. If not contact max (mxysxy) as he'd probably have bags of them. And yes they are a little fiddly to get done up.

Do those cover fit version R seats? I know I might get crucified for this cause everyone loves the blue seats but they have a few holes and I'd prefer the look of the covers anyway.

AMACHE - Just go to any Lincraft or Spotlight as advised, they have thousands of zippers.

Sorry if they didn't come in them but i sent them to you as i recieved them, i didn't even really unpack them, only to check that all the covers were there before i sent them, which oif course they were.


FTO99R - I only sold them because i got the blue Version R seats and you want to cover them.....isn't that a criminal offence in the FTO Court Of Law ?

Agreed, that would have to be a guilty FTO99R :slap:

Though understand if ther are holes. If your game maybe go and chat to a reupholstery place and see if they can replicate it with the embroidery? I'd love to know for future reference ;)

Hi Farah,

pm sent

You should have received a small bag containing the zippers with the seat covers.

If not, let me know please, will send a set with express post.
