Which? Best Seat Skins

[Donk]

I’ve been trying to get some fairly plain black leather look ones for the fronts but hard to find. Would’ve gone Inka but can’t trust them. Even the wife is getting frustrated and says to just get the Recaro CS seats and be done with it.

These are Ezeeparts covers.
Lovely fit and finish, you will lose finger nails though. Not cheap but cheaper than a retrim.
Been on a week now we’ll see how they last.

How are they after a few months now?

I went with Leather Inn Ltd off eBay as I didn't want to risk the mixed reviews from Inka.

Very pleased with these. Decent price, good fit and quality is very good. They were also easier to install than I'd anticipated.

If I'm hyper critical, then they're not a snug as I thought they'd be, but any tighter and I'd struggle to get them on. Had lots of compliments too.

Does anyone know if a set of front skins will fit the rear 2+1 seats ?
They look the same just missing armrest on the single

Hi, do these come with rear pockets?

Cheers!

@DeeGee68 I wasn't sure who your question was aimed at, but the the seat skins I've installed do come with rear pockets.

 

[DeeGee68]

My sincere apologies for not mentioning you 'Mule' and yes I love the look of your seat covers and was hoping they would come with pockets !

I've just bought some front seat covers from Transporter HQ. My question though, do you need to remove the front seat to fit them or can you fit the covers without unbolting the seats? The video shows the seats removed, but if I don't have to remove the seat then I'd prefer not to?

When I fitted my seatskinz I took seats out, but when I spoke to seatskinz he said its easy to fit with seats in as you can pull on them .
Must admit with the seat out it was rocking all over

It’s far less effort to take the seats out to fit the THQ covers - and a much neater finish as well

I've recently bought these from custom covers, i procrastinated for ages over which ones to get, and settled on these the pics were after just fitting and still have some new creases to fall out a bit, they fit really well, you do have to loosen the bench seat 8 bolts to enable fitting tight.

They've been on just over a week and creases have slackened. need a warm day and a bit more use to settle completely.
My only small gripe would be the cut around the seat belt fastener is tight and will take a bit of stretching to make fastening the seat belt a bit easier.

but overall well pleased with them.

'Leather Inn' ones seem to get good reviews. I can't speak for them personally but they have various styles including badge on headrest I believe. Get them on Ebay

Jim, they’re still as good when we put them on, it’s not our daily drive anymore though, but looking good.
I’ll take a couple of pics when I get home tonight.
I’d recommend them.
Good luck
Steve

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. View attachment 139564View attachment 139565View attachment 139566
