What have you done to your Elgrand today?

[bushyboi]

Polished headlights, didn't feel I needed to use full polishing kit and sand, just the plastic polish brought off the yellowing great for now I thought.

Saw these seat covers on ebay and fell in love to go over and with the basic beige colour interior.

Been looking at these myself, what's the fit like, are they comfy etc (if you don't mind)

Kind of a recaro style that keeps you in place of course, when first sat in wasn't sure, there's like a bump so to speak in upper back so you're sat alert shoulders off seat with middle and lower supported - to use headrest uppermost part of seat you'd have to arch your back backwards.

Unless I've just not set up quite right but it gives you a bucket seat type feel to lower two thirds of torso and lower body, certainly grown on me, I'm a sporty feel lover anyway. I slide out of seat to exit to fit under steering wheel which can pull the seat cover slightly out of place but only ever so tinily so - quite impressive how they stay in place really. One or two of the hooks to clip to bottom of seat can come off occasionally though doesn't seem to affect positional fastness and maybe I just haven't found the best anchoring point for them.

Taking out of the carry bags at first I was displeased as it looked on the pictures like they a full wrap around seat cover when in reality they're clipped onto black seats on the pictures, but I gave them a go over returning eventually and they quickly grew on me. Wasn't even sure I liked the feel sat in them at first but after a day or two they part of the furniture (excuse the pun) and just feels natural now and I bet I'd miss them back in standard seats.

But like I say I am a 'rally feel' lover, they certainly give you that recaro feel to a point.

Bit of a bugger to wedge in around armrests, perhaps they are meant to be removed I'm not sure (kinda daft bucket seats with armrests maybe ) but for now Mrs loves how they pin you in even more when drop arm rest down .

Aesthetically they really do look the biz approaching the vehicle looks like you've got really expensive seats.

Thanks for that @bushyboi

Also liking the seat covers! My wife is always trying to stop herself sliding on the leather and Im sure these would support her a lot better!

The wiring was easier than expected ( using them as all side and all brake)

Floored the loud pedal twice just so my boy could hear the beautiful noise she makes.
