Seat covers that don't look like seat covers

Post by yetibaines »

Hi guys, I've been looking to *refresh8 the interior of my Z3 and as re-upholstering would be an ideal option, I am unfortunately not made of gold! These guys have quoted me £189 + £10 delivery for the pair of two tone (charcoal inside, black outside) leatherette seat covers.

I was thinking of inserting the heated seat pads under these covers as I don't want to take the current & original cover off.

don't spend your cash on covers for standard seats . get a set of sport seats with heating already in . plenty come up on the bay and on here ..... they will look a lot better :D

Hmmmm ok maybe I'll do that then, but these covers do look pretty slick, but then my leather interior has been very well kept

Decisions, decisions....

BTW, drove around on my lunch break with top down, AWESOME :P :P :P :P had to put the heaters on my hands though!!
