I know I haven't seen them my-self yet plus I struggle to up-load to the forum.

Well the seats arrived and boy what a let down, have contacted the seller and now waiting to hear from them.
When you put them side by side, one cover is taught the other looks like it needs ironing.
The folds of the material do not match, its hard to explain but if you saw it you would take the pi** its like a 5 year old had done it.
Oh and when you try to adjust the headrest it just comes out in your hand and the bars are just plain mild steel roundbar without any notches for adjusting not even chromed and the holes are just punched through the material with no finishing edge or plastic insert to either finish it off properly.

That's bad news arfon, hope you get some joy from the seller. They sound similar to the ones that were on sale at either newak or donnington last year, the upholstery looked like really badly fitted seat covers!

Interesting to hear what replies you get

Dont blame you mate, sounds like they could be cheap for a reason......and they aren't even cheap enough to put up with that!

They actually asked if I would like to keep them if they refunded part of the cost, told them No I wouldn't use them for a sit on lawnmower never mind my car.

Well the seats went back to passion automotive on Monday, and I must be honest that even though there product was crap their refund policy was spot on.
They received them back at their place late Tuesday and my full refund was back in my account Wednesday morning.
So service they get a 10
Product they get a 3

Mine are the Interiors Seating ones and the finish on them is very good, but they come at a price @ £249 each in vinyl with headrest.

I paid £170 for my pair of full leather ones from ebay so its worth keeping and eye on there or the forums for good used ones. Took me a couple of months of looking before my ones came up but I was after red.

Take a look at Mamba Baby Cub seats maybe from Midland Wheels?

Cheers

I have ordered some of the robin hood seats today, they phoned me up to tell me they had a delivery and I am collecting them from Donnington on Sunday so will save on the postage
