Any experience with these at all anyone? They look o.k to me. Nothing fantastic but for the price they dont look too bad I think. Thinkin for kids spilling stuff etc is the reason.

The generic leather ones look woeful from what I've seen so I was thinkin something like this might be a bit better.

Considering getting my mazda 6 fitted with something like this as real leather obviously waaaay too expensive. And finding it for a Mazda 6 in a scrappy isnt the easiest task from what I have seen unless someone can tell me otherwise.

I drive a new model 08 version if thats any use.

Where To

I always use tailored leatherette on my vehicles, easy cleaned and durable. Just make sure that they measure your vehicle personally and don't work off a general spec for your car.

Have to say that price looks fairly cheap too, I'd be paying at least double that for mine, so I'd check the quality of the material too.

Soooo relieved it's "car seat covers", and not leather "car covers". Be like a gimp suit for your car if you got a tailored vinyl cover for it... might be worth a chuckle if you had a Subaru Gimpreza, or a Chevy Gimpala I suppose.

Yeah I thought it looked decent price wise as well. There was guy who got a quote for an avensis for €235 so I'd imagine it'd be about the same for a Mazda 6.

I'd be concerned however if you're paying double that for a similar job. Must be something to do with the quality.

Can you tell me where you get yours done if you dont mind.

cheers.

It's a firm in Derry but having just checked their website they seem to have changed their name and are concentrating on online sales rather than supply and fit as they used to. Prices have also dropped dramatically since the last time I used them (Stg£320 for a Skoda Superb fitted in Jan, £136.50 delivered now)

The bottom one is one I had done before.

When you got to their homepage now, though you get a redirect, so I will have to make further enquiries.

I rang them there and yes its £320 sterling to be fitted takes about 3 hours according to the bloke I spoke to. Something to think about. I'd say its in another league quality wise though in fairness so probably worth paying the few quid extra. Its the sort of thing you'd regret going cheap on I'd say.

Where To

I can't fault the quality at all, and mine take a fair bit of abuse. On saying that I know a few people that have the universal covers on and have no problem with them either.
