Finally got some seat covers from eBay for the Jazz. Original started to worn out and was going to buy a couple of front seats from eBay but was worried about the compatibility plus the costs.

Thanks to members on the MK4 forum, got into the Japanese website and saw some good stuff. Unfortunately was worried about side airbags as many of the GE does have them as standard.

So back to eBay and found lux-ride. Was always not sure how good they are but after a few emails, signed on the dotted line and here they are. They come in different colours and combination.

They backrest and head fitted quite well. Seat cushion needs adjusting and didn't fit as the shape of the side support but t's not too bad. The material is man made leather and shame about buying online, as you can't really feel the material-would have probably paid a bit more for nicer material. But at £69, I can't complaint as they were tailored made.

Interesting. I have been thinking about getting a dark (preferably matching) seat cover for the driver's seat only but the airbag thing is a complication. The velour style upholstery is just not as hard wearing as the more conventional weave used on most cars. Do you have any links for any of the sites you looked at? Thanks.

The only thing to watch is .... do your seats have built in outer airbags ?

My Civic does so any seat covers need to have open sides where the bags would expand into.

I think these have breakable stitching that gives way upon airbag deployment, where required.

If you copy and paste the Japanese below it will take you to many interesting seat covers.

But personally, stick to the eBay seller lux-ride. His seat covers all have airbags compatible and has different colours to choose from.

I was looking Clazzio leather seat covers http://www.clazzio.com/ until I found that most parts of the covers are actually vinyl, not real animal leather. Good thing is that colours of stitches could be selected.
