All you need are the covers. They come off the foams and you can refit new reproduction covers that would exceed factory quality.

So I’ve found a pair of VS clubby seats, I’m still more keen on the SS ones though. Anyone know of anyone selling any SS ones, or anyone that might want to swap some Clubby for SS ones?

I’d swap for sure, if I get the clubby seats that is, depends what he wants for them. I just reckon the SS ones would look better in my car to match the rest of it, compared to the grey and green of the clubby ones. SS ones are proving hard to find, especially in WA

All depends if the clubby seats are devonish style, wouldn't swap those.

If standard seat foam, then I understand bringing the car to ss style.

So I ended up getting these. Bit weird with the orange trim, but I don’t think it’ll look that out of place with the white and red of the car. $250, had to take the whole set though, so I’ve got a back seat to get rid of!!

Cleaned up well after probably 4 goes with the Bissell spot cleaner thing my wife had bought a while back, to clean our couches. At least it got some use!! Was a bit fiddly getting the new ones in, especially the flat piece on the front rail that slips under the carpet. I had to use the existing rail on the drivers chair, as that little flat piece on the SS seat rail had snapped, so that was a bit annoying getting the rails off and swapping it over.

Was good to do it all myself. I feel like I’d lost a bit confidence in doing things on cars myself, after not owning something like this for almost 15 years. So it’s been that long since I fiddled with things and did my own servicing, replacing bits and pieces and just generally having a go at stuff before I thought about our sourcing the job. Anyway, all went well, and I’m pretty happy with the result considering it only cost me $250 and my time over the weekend cleaning them up and swapping them over.
