I too need some NB8A seat covers. I found a hole in the the drivers side one last week......havnt dríven it since :(

I'd be after a fairly exact copy of the original seat cover ie: cloth seat and leather/vinyl (what ever its is on the back of the seats) perhaps with red stiching and no logo 8)

Mine is on the side, you can mix and match!

Sounds like there's a few of us with NB8As keen. :mrgreen:
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

mmm... I wanna try this leatherette stuff first before I buy it. I was thinking of getting something similar to 10AE seats, with suede like stuff in the middle. I'm rather curious to see how leatherette performs after being left in the sun in terms of how hot your butt gets.

OK, I am also interested in new covers for my NB8A, I'd love to see the pictures when you are finished. Being an Aquarian means that I want mine to be very bright .... a stunning yellow centre and black sides with the Logo of course - should look great on my all black MX-5.

Obviously it gets warmer than cloth, however, not as bad as leather.
I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all to initially sit in the car. The steering wheel was always the real heated part. Maybe I should start producing some steering wheel covers. :idea:

Yeah, fair enough. Hopefully someone around Sydney gets them soon and I can get a good look and feel of them. See if I reckon they're a goer for me.

So if you do leather and leatherette, do you do MX5 seats in leather rather than leatherette as well?
