Hi all,

Im after some seat covers for my nova,
Its currently got the nova seats with thin sttripes running accross them..

Im after some that are blue /black or Leather (look)..

BUT, which are the best fit?
I have noticed one guy in the feature cars with blue / black covers that fit great! which are these?

Cheers
Alex

hi,

thx for your opinion on seat covers.
However I dont particularly like the bland grey mucky colour of the mk1 dash and seats, and want to add abit off life to the interior of my car..

And Ive seen some that look great on here..

Questions still stand!
any suggestions?

Cheers
Alex

seat covers look good if they are fitted properlly e.g. take the seats out to do it, but if the r not they will look pants

I had a set of those before, they look ok on the front seats but the back seats look plain as they only come in black and cost about another ?30.

For ?60 id say there not really worth it :|

seat covers dont look that bad.

i use one on the rear seats so it matches my blue bucket seats and most people seem to think ive had the rears trimmed to match :lol:

(i nicked it off my girfriends sister so it was free to lol)

Get some black and white fury cow style ones :lol:

Them max power leather look ones look quite nice, think there about ?80.
Shame they had to slap "Max Power" across the middle of them though.

thinking off recover my seats myself
know a bloke that does that stuff and he will let me use his speicel sueing machine if i ask nicly
seems quite easy to do as well
just take the seat cover off and then dismantl it carfully and then use it as a template and then sew new the peices togeither quite easy really

if useing leather then u will have to get a proper machine to do it but if it thin fabric then a normal sewing machine will do it
