Seat cover options?
« on: 14 January 2012, 21:04 »
Are there any seat cover options for the GTI? I came from a Golf Estate and loved the faux leather seating and would consider that again for my CSW GTI. Leather stretches out and after a couple of years they look horrible. I'm liking the tartan seats now, but I probably will be looking for other options. Where should I be looking for seat cover options?

On the assumption that you don't have young children or are a messy bugger, I'd leave the tartans on show, it compliments the red-stitching well.
However, if you are deadset on covers, then make sure that they either have red stiching or at least red in there somewhere  :wink:

Over the festive period I required to transport some freshly baked Apple and Blueberry Crumble (my own recipe). Unfortunately some of the blueberry syrup leaked all over my rear bench.

I was expecting purple seats.   :cry:

A good clean and a hoover later and they look as good as new.   :shocked:

If you have the Tartan, leave it on show. It's pretty easy to look after and looks the dogs danglies  :smiley:

If you do fit seat covers, make sure they're 'airbag friendly' and don't impede the operation of the seat airbags. I've got tartan seats and agree with PenguinGTI, I think they're great and personally, wouldn't want to cover them up.  :cool:

Best thing to do is give them a really good clean then put some protection on them. Two products that I'd say are spot on.


Aerospace 303 Fabric Guard available from www.polishedbliss.co.uk

Gtechniq i1 - available from www.gtechniq.com

Both easy to apply and do the job
