Seat cover suggestions ? by britvette on Sat Apr 18, 2009 3:14 am
Hi ,
I plan on using my fronty as a bit of a workhorse when I get home and finally get to drive it . I will be living in Mid Wales and have plans to build an extension etc on the house so will be towing with it and generally jumping into it covered in god knows what.
I was thinking about getting some seat covers that would stand the dirt and wear a bit better than the factory upholstery and wondered what you lot had used , what fits well , is hard wearing etc. There isn't any FOG seat covers is there?
I don't mind spending a bit on them if they are the only ones going to fit well or are going to last or don't mind buying cheap ones that fit well but maybe will not last as well , just really looking for the cheapest that will do the job in mind , waterproof would be good too but not essential
Any ideas ? suggestions?
Thanks
Paul

I've been using a pair of cheap (£10 bargain bin) Halfords ones for some time. Occasionally they get washed in the washing machine and receive a new water proof coating and have lasted a about 4 years (and are still serviceable).

I also have a pair of the £30 Halfords "prosport" covers and while they work, they don't out perform the cheaper ones.

I am looking (after Bala) to get some FOG branded covers available for members, although they will have to bought direct from the supplier. There will also be the option of bucket seat covers with harness slots, all with the FOG logo on the head rest.

Watch this space, as they say.
