I didnt think there is different sides when I was trying to put it on.
But I remember now that passinger side was a perfect fit, however, I had some difficulty to fit the driver side.

I made it fit perfectly at the end but along the way I thought something is wrong where the bottom side ends of the covers are. However, I put it on anyways, looks very good now both sides.

Moral is I may have 2 left sides delivered to me, however, I wasnt clever enough to discover this, I guess I was blinded by the beauty of the seat covers.

I dont think swapping from this moment will work, because I already drilled the holes for seat belt guides. Also, I dont want to change it anyway.

Good luck to the person whoever has got 2 right sides. :P
thanks mate, I am happy whit what I got, looks perfect in my car.

Hi,

That's good to hear.
I was disappointed at first but now that I have put them on it actually looks pretty good.
So pretty happy with it.

The only major reason why I didn't want to swap once it's on is because as you would know already that you have to put some hole on there to get it to fit and if we swap with the right ones then the holes will be on the wrong side.

Hope you know what I mean.

So it's good to hear that you are happy with what you've got as well.
:)

Thanks,

That is very WOW.

Thanks Borris - really wanted to see what yours looked like installed. You must be a happy, happy guy.

Any way of painting seatbelt-buttons? Or do they legally have to be orange/red?

Wow - that is a really good fit!

My front seat bottoms are a bit too big and hence baggy. I might take it apart one day again and tighten it up

Okay...Just thought I'd mention this to the group...I live in Townsville North Queensland & a good mate of mine recently started working for a local Auto Trimming company here...I was chatting to him recently & this topic came up...He's had a look at my stock seats & also checked out the pics on this forum & reckons they could do the same job no worries (plus he likes the idea of bringing his boss the extra business :lol: ) He's checking into it for me & should have details in the next few days (ie: materials & colours...time...cost etc) I'll keep everyone posted...
