There looked a good range, but the ebay shop is somewhat confusing - the language and pictures don't help. It's there a set specifically for the Cali?

They look like the ones I bought via ebay for my Peugeot. Vinyl and alcantra. About £90 for 5 seats! I've been very pleased with the fit and durability of mine.

Look nice - what are they made of?

 

[calikev]

Vinyl

 

[Stoneybroke]

Vinyl

Memories of Hillman Avengers, Morris Marinas and Vauxhall Chevettes in hot weather - sweaty cheeks....
They do look good though - are they removable covers?

 

[calikev]

Yes they are removable

 

[Stoneybroke]

Yes they are removable

Available from?

 

[CaliforniaBen]

Looks like as good as a re-trim? Where did you buy them please? Very interested? Price?

 

[calikev]

These were custom made and should be available in the club shop. As for price watch this space

 

[Ady77]

Depending on price I would certainly be interested in these and getting rid of my boring grey Inka ones !!

 

[calikev]

They will be cheaper than brandrup
And British made with full back up should a problem arise

Looks like a reasonable choice of patterns / finishes....

 

[calikev]

Are they tuv approved for use with airbags

 

[andyinluton]

The VW transporters used as minicabs round here tend to have those or something very similar on the seats. Hot in summer, cold in winter & the lingering whiff of cheap vinyl.

Good point, I will find out...

 

[LongBay Beach]

Calikev, they are exactly what i've been looking for. I need something suitable for keeping muddy kids and dogs off the original seats, but can't source the Inka ones (and they're not exactly pretty either) but don't want to be paying silly money either.

Will they be available for the Beach too (7 seater with 3 seater bench) ?

 

[calikev]

They will be available for the beach they will be custom made in small batches
Hopefully

 

[LongBay Beach]

That's brilliant, thanks. I might be able to let the kids & dogs in the Cali one day soon.....

Faux fur leopard...Yikes!!

 

[Radio-active]

Good point, I will find out...

Good day,

Thank you very much for your email.

A general operating permit (ABE) or TÜV certificate for the seat covers is not required by law. This ABE woulddrive up the price per seat cover around 40 EUR unnecessarily high.
Our covers are provided all airbag fit and with a tearing seam at the particular location.

For further questions we are happy to help you.

Best regards
Your Ukatex Team

......So what does that mean?....I take it most aftermarket seat covers are not TUV approved unless you buy VW etc....if they have an airbag tear seam one assumes the airbag deployment would not be affected?

Any experts out there?
