    Hello,
    Anyone know where I could get a good set of seat covers for the new model superb?


    Thanks

    I'd imagine any auto factors or the likes of Halfords would have seat covers to suit.

    My question is why though? Aftermarket seat covers are going to look mank in a brand new car.... I'd also wonder if they'd affect the operation of the airbags in the seats (if the Superb has them-I presume it does since my old Golf MkIV had them) if you were unfortunate enough to have a crash...

    If you open the car door you will find a perfectly good set of seat covers already on the Superb. :rolleyes:

    I laugh everytime I see this - all that money spent on a new car just to ruin it with a cheap set of seat covers.

    I'm sure there must be good ones that don't look too bad, but most people struggle to even achieve the "cheap taxi" look, they seem to aim for the poverty stricken boy racer tack instead?

    If you're going to do it at all OP, spend some money and get good ones, not some yokes with tattoo dragons or flames on em...

    And the seat massager made from wooden beads.

    Don't forget to cover that leather steering wheel in plastic too, shame to wear it out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,154 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    One of these for the back window possibly

    But seriously, why would you cover up such good quality seats in a Superb?

    I presume it would be to protect the seats. I've a three year old, and even though the car seats in my car look ok, I've had to put in some seat covers.

    I found some nice ones on offer in halfords before. I think these are them. I got them half price at the time.

    Have you considered chrome strips along all the shut lines to complete the look?

    edit - in fairness, if you absolutely had to fit em (although I'd question why you bought a new car rather than an old jeep if you'll be regularly getting that dirty) those Halfords ones look better than most. They seem to be standard enough issue in taxis.
