there pretty simple to put in, I know there are different types, but with mine I just slip them on the back-rest then over the bottom bit where you sit, and then I have velcro straps which I connect together under the seat.

big pitty i think he is referring to the seat cover group buy.. which involves taking out the whole seat, taking off the original covers and replacing with new.

Akuma .. Why dont u just look up an auto upholsterer in sydney and ring for pricing..?

I've just installed mine and it's take me more than a day! The metal clips are an absolute b*tch to work with! Best person to ask is mxysxy coz he's actually writing a seat cover DIY. Ask him how it's going.

Thanks to Boris for sharing his hardwork, so check out those pics in the following zip.

you do need to get some bits as shown in those pics like wires, tapes etc

if you new to this, it might take you a good day or so.
