thats why the delivery note said "$69" which should have been $59 if i didnt have extra material.

Thanks again guys for getting me the extra material.

Adriano,
Thanks for the offer about the extra material.

GAV,
If you can post the extra material to my address, it will be a great help. I am happy to pay for the postage again.

Hey guys I just finished fitting my two front seat covers yesterday.

I've attached a few pics of them installed in the car.

Overall i'm pretty happy with them. The only thing i'm not really happy with is the drivers side cover. On the front part where your back rests there is a vertical seam. On my drivers side cover it isn't sewn in the middle. It's about 1.5cm to the right so it looks uneven.

There are also a few creases on the back rests too but thats not too much of a problem, it's not major.

But overall i'm happy with them - it sure beats ripped covers!

Thanks for organising them guys!

Ill scan the postage recipt, im not sure of the exact costs off the top of my head.
If you go to your local fabric store you could get some matching material.

had mine for a few months now and never experienced fogging at all..

when I was doing the bottom part of the front seats, I unstitched that white plastics from the old covers and restitched onto the new ones. Worked well.
Here is the photo

Also, I super glued the large crack in the seat foam.

This photo shows it half done

And fully glued

Good Stuff mate! wow, you went to all that trouble to stick the plastic bits on!

Good work...

ARGH! I'm pissed I missed out on this one!!! Just wondering if there's any chance of a second group buy for these seat covers as I would absolutely LOVE to get a set!!!???!!!

smorison has told me to keep a look out in this forum because he's gonna organise another one soon. Don't worry I missed out too.. but at least the people makin em are more experienced now.. we might get an even better fit!

mxysxy,
Did you tape it up after you super glued it? It might come apart again with the weight of a leg on it.

I taped mine up with cloth tape, I actually taped up the entire side bolster.

Fanfarkingtasticular!!! I WANT SOME OF THOSE COVERS! If anyone could post some pics of the covers done in the Blue I'd be extremely grateful (I'll write campfire songs about you to be sung throughout the ages!) ANNNNNNNNNNND...Did anyone end up getting anything one their covers? (Emboidery, printing etc etc) I'd love to have the FTO emblem stitched onto the covers! Cheers Ta Thanks You Very Muchly!

HMmm,
Now that you mention it, I just got into my car about 1/2 an hour ago and it was all foggy inside...

Maybe it was because of the dramatic change in weather we just had in melbourne?

Well, I used some motorguard, spray stuff, on mine, it like treats leather/vynyl/plastic.. that sort of stuff. But it's too early to tell because I noticed the windows get fogged only when you leave the car in the heat.

Still trying to work it out. But still happy with the seats.
