Which? Best Seat Skins

I have a 2019 T6, and tried some Inka skins on it - for the rear bench seat but they did not fit - it was far too tight, and likely to rip and the head rest holes did not line up. has anyone found any covers which fit and are well priced?
Personally I didn't want covers to go on top of the OEM ones, I wanted new OEM skins in GTi fabric. If I want to "mud proof" the seats I'd use seat covers (the plain loose fit type that are easily fitted and removed).

If you're interested in new VW replacements with your choice of centre fabric, I can give you the details.

 
Cool, I’ll check it out. I’ve got the ezeeparts ones (formerly gte). They look lovely in the bag :)
 
Loved looking through everyone’s pics, I’ve also been looking at the individual auto design covers and my buddy just had them and they look superb, However. . . . I really miss the bolstering you get from a sports car seat, on the base and on the flanks, does anyone know if you can get covers that come with extra bolstering to make it feel more like a Recaro or even S-Line seat without having to rebuild the whole seat?
 
Looking for premium seat cover prices as an option for my new Kombi, when it arrives.
Torn between a full re upholstery which seems to come in at about 1500 quid, or covers. I got some covers for my last transit double cab in full leather at 800 quid and tbh they look fantastic, and would be happy to spend that amount again but wondered what a full recover offers at almost double the price, to justify the extra.
 
I've been tempted by covers for a while but the one thing that puts me off is the standard seat shape. Some covers have additional padding for a sportier look but they still look like a van seat!
Reupholstered seats can have major reshaping often adding complete foam pad sets from much nicer seats. I'm sure Golf GTI seat lining is popular for that bolstered look. This as you might imagine isn't cheap!
 
Seatskinz purchase review.

I said I would post some pics of the Seatskinz (Individual Auto Design) covers I just had fitted but also wanted to give an overview off he whole experience which was fantastic.

Firstly these aren’t just any seat covers, they are made according to your colour and material combinations with over one million configurations apparently.

They will send you small samples of the materials to view before you order and although they have an online configuration tool, it’s much better to see the materials in the flesh, if you talk to them they also offer options over and above the configurator, for example I had Alcantara inserts in the inside of the bolsters to add grip.

Once you have decided on the final design, it’s made to order so takes about 6 weeks to get done, I also paid for them to fit them which I highly reccomend as watching two experienced guys fit them I realised that there was no way I could get there same finish and it would take a good full weekend I reckon on your own.

I couldn’t find any other seat airbag tested and compliant seat covers as well which was critical for me.

Having seen my buddy’s last year (the reason I went with seatskinz) it takes a month or so for them to properly bed in so they will look better and better as time goes on.

The service was great and I am really happy with them, they aren’t the cheapest but you can see why - the quality and fit is phenomenal.

My strong advice is, absolutely have a chat with them to really dial down on what you want, get samples of the materials and get them to fit them. 96647AC7-9A71-46C8-AD06-8C36958EEF13.jpeg7D2651BB-C7BC-4A78-8222-06253A43833E.jpeg2F0B4241-F131-4047-9DD3-2E7E07C62178.jpeg

I got mine from seatskinz uk, been on 4 years and still look great, people think they are leather seats
 
Gone for transporter hq seat covers for the fronts and found a close enough match for the rear triple from inka. Maybe £165 for the fronts and £225 for the rear. Bloody hard work fitting the rear triple and left with sore hands for days but well worth the money and no one’s ever noticed they are covers till I have told them. Now to work out a decent kick board and carpet situation

I'm usually against plastic seat covers but they look very good indeed.
