Lads, I'm putting my new MG5 on the Road next week. I got the Excite Version which comes with cloth seats (TBH I wasn't going to spend another 3 grand just for leather seats and a few extra toys...., and this one was the only one available anywhere in the country a few weeks ago).
Anyway, does anybody know who would do leatherette Seat Covers ( as seen on nearly every Corolla and Avensis 20 years ago). I'd prefer to just buy them and fit them myself as I'm down in Limerick and don't fancy spending a day travelling up and down to Dublin , and trying to recharge the Car somewhere as well.
I'm not looking for the €50 covers that Argos sell, I'm after the decent quality ones that will take a bit of abuse.
Has anybody else bought something similar and fitted them themselves ?

Hunting Lodge (79),If you have cloth seats you can go get Scotch guard the stuff You use to put on your blue suede shoes to stop them getting stained when you took a piss when drunk .Tesco do a cheaper version Punch Brand .Get about 5 cans change out of 30 euro .Try a test area first .Soak the material with plenty of the stuff let it dry and it will seal the seats give you enough time to wipe shit ,piss or puke up before it soakes in .I done it with Cloth seats in a Fluence including door cards .redone it 3 years later .Never had a problen two pukers and one pisser .Cheap fix that works .

I'm a taximan. If the guy rings the companies they might do call-outs. Once they have the measurements it's only a matter of fitting. Usually €350 a pop, or a plop, depending on passenger type. 8)

Thanks folks for all the replies. I'll probably go with John m's idea for a few weeks . It's gotta be better than cheap 20 quid cloth seat covers that rip apart after a couple of days.
If I think the seats are getting wrecked I'll ring around and see if anyone can supply heavy duty leather-look covers.
-
Plenty of car shops supply them but they are about 350 a go fer a full set, fer my 171 Avensis with similar cloth seats I bought just the lower back seat heavy duty custom made cover online fer 150 last year and fitted it myself, it was a bitch of a job to fit and replace.
If I was ever buying a new car with cloth seats then I would spend the 350 and get it fitted professionally.
P.S. they are called leatherette seat covers if'n your googling them..

Lads, I'm putting my new MG5 on the Road next week. I got the Excite Version which comes with cloth seats (TBH I wasn't going to spend another 3 grand just for leather seats and a few extra toys...., and this one was the only one available anywhere in the country a few weeks ago).
Anyway, does anybody know who would do leatherette Seat Covers ( as seen on nearly every Corolla and Avensis 20 years ago). I'd prefer to just buy them and fit them myself as I'm down in Limerick and don't fancy spending a day travelling up and down to Dublin , and trying to recharge the Car somewhere as well.
I'm not looking for the €50 covers that Argos sell, I'm after the decent quality ones that will take a bit of abuse.
Has anybody else bought something similar and fitted them themselves ?
Give Don in seatcovers.ie a call, he`ll let you know if covers for your MG are available and more than likely will send you a set to fit yourself.

Anyone got personal experience of these, ie quality, appearance when fitted, and difficulty of self fitting?

@ Harry, get yerman to fit them and pay the extra few quid, I fitted just the lower back seat cover last year, a bitch of a job to fit it and I would imagine the front seats are worse trying to get in under them.

Don did my seat covers in 2012, they`re still in top notch condition. He did mine at my house as he was only starting out . A lot of Keshies got theirs done after inspecting the job done on my Octavia.
