Styling Fiat 500 Seat Covers times move on

[Farrah]

Have researched a few threads on some 500 seat covers for 2010 car with round headrests. Read a few old posts but don't come to any real conclusion apart from some expensive Italian ones that perhaps not the time now to expect deliveries from Italy and alternatives seem cheapy Halfords universal ones.

Given the posts were older ones and perhaps a bit more experience from owners now can someone recommend some seat covers medium cost range, don't want to need covers to protect expensive covers but just something that is a decent fit. Cars white with black interior so no fancy colurs really needed but the embossed 500 in the covers looks nice.


I have read up and understand the airbag and it appears some account for this with the way the stitching is done. Any advice appreciated and links to ebay or amazon would help if possible.

Why not buy a complete set of leather sports seats. They often come up on eBay for very reasonable prices.

Or there’s this nice set of Abarth seats.

Car seat covers ? I’d buy another set of seats!! They are super easy to swap out ... just note if your back seats are bench style or both dual folding ...

I've been on the lookout for a decent set of seat covers since I bought my car, but it's been six years now and no joy, apart from expensive custom-made. My car has the red leather so I was looking for a set in bright red.

The Abarth seats look fantastic but my experience is that they're quite hard and at my time of life I'm looking for comfort.

Some options I'd look at

This one is a bargain, even if the driver's seat may need a specialist treatment

Fully agree with what was said before - changing the seats is easy. Certainly easier than new upholstery or futile attemps to make seat covers fit and look nice

How did you actually get your seat cover off?

Oh Jesus it was hard!! Something on the back came off that was joining the leather like a long strip

I had to remove the lever that allows you to lean the seat forward and basically pull the leather upwards gently
Looking back I wouldn’t have bothered [emoji53] as getting it back on was harder!!

God knows how I did it! Sheer determination I guess!

I think I might not bother. I might give it a go on a seat that I get rid of in the future, just see how it comes off. I know what you mean about the long bit. Ive seen that before. I think it's just a bit of exra support.
