Default Where can I get seat covers?
Can anyone tell me where I am able to get seat covers (front and back) for a BF XR6T, not sheepskin. I am Redcliffe, north of Brisbane.

Thanks.

It's hubby that doesn't want sheepskins, he is worried about fluffing. I have told him that a good quality one does not fluff.

Not sure about Autobarn - people have told me that due to the sports seats they have to be custom made.

To be honest there isnt alot of covers out there that will A) suit you car and b) be of decent quality not to mention the RICE factor. :

If I ever considered seat covers for protection Id have to resort to a decent sheep skin.

Better still leather or top quality vinyl custom trim :

G'day Bighitter,

You almost got missed here in a thread about seat covers. Next time start a thread of your own with a title about the info you require, you will get a better response.

At the risk of hijacking this thread I will offer you some advice. Most of the V8 Guys start by making it breathe better. A change to a K & N type of panel filter and maybe even Cold Air Induction. Next step would be exhaust. From the cats back is a popular option but for real gains the best is to change the lot, headers included. Now this is starting to get a little pricey especially if it is a BA you are speaking about because of the labour involved in fitting the headers.

My advice would be to look at the "Performance" section of Ford Forum and start reading. There is a ton of info there to keep you going.

Cheers,

Ken

When I got my 6 I had to get the rears custom made. autobarn, supercheap etc should be able to place an order for you. As for the front, I just bought the biggest ones they had in stock. In places they are too tight and in others too loose. hope you have better luck than me.
