Fitting leather covers

How easy is it to remove the fitted covers and replace them with leather ones? I have seen some leather ones for sale but don't want to risk buying them and then not being able to fit them!

Cheers

It's a pain in the butt - I removed my leather seat cover to retrofit seat heating and 1 seat took me all day!

If I were you, I'd get the covers (they are good value at £600) and get a car upholstery specialist to fit them. They'll probably charge another £300 or so, but it'll be worth it.

Cheers,

Mike
 
do i see a bidding war starting :D

well don't worry i won't be bidding as i already have leather
 
Looks like they sold for £350.

I was interested, but I want black leather instead ideally.
Does anybody know who makes these covers for Audi? I'm thinking of having my interior retrimmed or going for the TT front seats in leather.
 
yes, it would be nice to find out who makes the covers. I am sure there is a stock room full of them gathering dust! :eek:
 
I've just had my TDI SE with leather written off and am struggling to find another. Might it be easier for me to just buy one with a standard interior and then try and buy back my interior? Or even buy just back back the seats then I wouldnt have to mess around trying to swap the covers over?

damn! The color was perfect! He send me a larger picture but I even didn make a bit! (this option, as given, you know I mean).
 
I bought the red ones off Ebay in the end. I am slightly suspicious that they might be for sport seats as I have only seen these on sport seats before. Is there any way of telling?

Also I'm not really sure if they go with my grey interior, so not sure if I should put them on.
 
Are you sure? They were advertised as fitting any A2 with standard seats.

Hi Mark,
Skipton would know for sure, but i am pretty certain they will only fit the sports seats as these were only available with the leather option as far as i can remember.
 
My last A2 (RIP) had grey leather on standard seats. I just havent seen red leather on standard seats before.

Hi Mark, let me know the part numbers on the front seat covers (base and backs) and I'll tell you if they're for sports or normal.

Cheers,

Mike
 
The seller was wrong. I also have seen, that these are for sport seats, not for normal seats!
I would bye them too :D

Hi Mark,

These numbers may be batch numbers, but they are not part numbers - look for something starting with 8Z0 881.......

Cheers,

Mike

Maddys seats are red leather and they are standard SE seats

cheers

But the seller wrote, that they have three transverse joints , not two and that makes it clear!
Sport seats have more joints than normal-seats.

Here what the seller wrote (this is wrong):
THEY WILL FIT ALL A2 CARS WITH STANDARD SEATS BUT ACCORDING TO THE AUDI INFORMATION I HAVE, THERE ARE 2 or 3 CROSSWIRE SEAM SEATS AND THESE ARE FOR 3 SEAM MODELS. ( I HOPE THAT MAKES SENSE !)

So, for me it was clear, what he sells.

And they are sport. See it:
My normal gray seat and the image, I got from the seller:

Hi erstens, I have standard leather seats and have 3 seams. I have just looked through photos on classified adverts, sports . The best way is to identify is by part number, failing that, get a measure of the width of the 'wings', they are much larger than standard on the sports.

standard leather, 3 seams
