I can get seats recovered with new foam for £20-25 so is it really worth it? You can probably pick a second hand seat up with good cover for less than that OR why not try one of the aftermarket cover thingies like wot M & P used to (still?) do .... ? just a thought :cool:

Ah go on, you know you want the conchos so just give in - leather seats look so much nicer it's well worth getting real leather, you can always make a little seat cover from plastic sheeting with elastic round the edge a bit like a bath cap to put over it when it's raining or at night for protection like I do.

Yer right in 1 way minxy. i can get seats covered for reasonable but with the slabby it comes in 2 halves as you know so counts as 2 seats.
I think i can do it prperly meself just need the material.
Was gonna nick some leather from work but i'll think they'll notice a big square gone out of the 12' rolls of bentley leather, lol. and its dark blue, yuk
And! when you see slabby seats on ebay they have always got the rip at the back, front seat.

Buses used to be good - they had black vynil seat coverings, so you'd find an empty seat with no one near you, take out your Stanley knife... :p

Our buses had maroon vinyl seats (PUKE),some still have,but if you even thought about cutting a bit out the neds (chavs to southern folk) would do ye for spoiling THEIR fun! "WE'RE slashin' thae seats ya raj basturt, likes!"
