That way they should fit a lot better.

These covers are definately NOT slip on, but proffessional upholstery. All attached to the seat frame to achieve the tight fit, as per photos.

If there is pocket in the factory covers, then no problems. It will be the exact copy of the stock style.

Material will have padding behind to further reduce any rubbing. Normally rubbing is not an issue, unless you purposely try to damage it, or something sharp sticking out of you.
I have my seat covers over 3 years now, still like the first day, no rubbing at all, still very tight, no cracking, no fading.

The red and black are a little too "LOOK AT ME" for my liking and I wouldn't need any logos done :mrgreen:

Logo is one of the customisable attributes. I can certainly organise no logo.

Sounds Great :mrgreen:
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

no problems,

Any colour for Logo
Any colour for stitching
Max of 2 colours for seat, which is inner/outer

I still need confirmation if standard seat covers are glued

If i read it correctly you CAN have fancy stitching... 2 colours is for the iner & and outer of the seat... so in the pic on the first page the 2 colours are red and black 8)
