    Looking for a nice simple beige seat cover

    Hi all

    looking for a nice beige coloured seat cover to protect the drivers seat from wear and tear. All I seem to be able to find at the moment is black/grey, boy-racer designs and I dont want any sheepskin. Been to Supercheap, Repco and Kmart...no luck.

    Any brand or online store someone could recommend would be much appreciated!

    Budget $60

    Thanks

    Before you jump in on this bear in mind that if you have a seat cover that inhibits the side airbags from opening in an accident you may have some issues.

    Having said that i believe there are a couple on ebay that will do the job (i.e. they have a gap where the airbag can come out)

    Just get an interior protector done should do the trick.
    I had mine done in my old car and even after 6 years the seats still look new and stain and water resistant

    Yeah i had the leather protectant done by the dealer before i picked it up as I have the desert beige nappa leather which is quite light in colour, but Ive started to notice its getting slightly greyish on the edge near the door. Maybe I'll give the service department a ring so they've got not of it if it gets any worse..

    Thanks guys!

    Apparently the dye in jeans comes off ontot he leather quite easily so it could be that or just dirty/sweaty hands..

    Im going to follow up the dealer about this. I paid good money for that protectant and it should protect against minor marks such as these. I'm also seeing "wrinkling" of the leather in the driver seat and back seat (which has minimum usage)

    Normal problems, the protection doesn't stop that much just makes a little easier to clean off. Wrinkling is perfectly normal, it's leather and it stretches etc. I wish there was a cloth option, I really don't like leather seats in cars.
