    Hi All

    Just wondering if anyone has bought any of those custom leather seat covers for sale on ebay (there is quite a few selling them of course) and whether they felt they were a good fit/ value for money etc.

    Thinking of buying some, but wanted to know what experiences others have had here with them first.

    Cheers
    Jamie

    The GB I did a few years ago used a guy from Pakistan (I think). His name is Khalid Mahmoud. He has an EBay store. I would suggest you contact him through the email address in the old GB thread.
    I think his details are also in FSBB.

    I bought genuine leather covers from the same mob through their Interior innovations website and did the work fitting them myself. They where very helpful in replying to an questions i had about the options that where available before i made the order. Have to say im very happy with the quality and service i recieved from them.
    Heres a pic 8 months ago just after fitting and another taken today. you can see the leather is a bit wrinkled after fitting and was going to have another ago at tightening them up but after a few hot days they lost most wrinkles by themselves.

    We bought the leather replacement seat covers from khalid and we're extremely happy with them. I too fitted them myself and it came up great.

    We did have a minor issue with the leather loosing colour to which he sent me a replacement cover which unfortunately got damaged somewhere along the lines prior to my recieving it, so he sent me another... So that's two free replacements in essence. He is a good bloke to talk to and will help with whatever you need. We also got our covers tweaked a bit over the standards he does, so very ablidging.

    Money well spent in all honesty.

    How can I not thankyou for the link!

    I tried searching for it and spent half an hour reading lots of related links but not that one, so you saved me some time ;)

    Talking to Khalid now about trying to get a us a permanent discount rather than GB's - hopefully he will do it - would be good for all :)

    thanks Vader

    It's vinyl and I had no problems with it, except that leather will always be better.
