Seat Covers - Melville and Moon

[DCPU]

I’ve been onto the configurator today and had a look at the heavy duty seat covers. They don’t look too bad at all. But a CGI image View attachment 7798408

I'd buy the recovery bag if it actually floated in the back like that ~ looks like a mini Zeppelin.

Hadn’t noticed that

Love the gremlins in the configurator.

Melville & Moo?

They fit better than the factory ones, but I'm not sure they look that much better to cost double.

To be fair to the photos I posted, it does look like the person who put them on didn't spend any time "dressing" them for best effect.

And I have to wonder, with prototype vehicles running around with Melville & Moon branded spare wheel covers, just who did supply those OEM covers? They look very similar to these:

Comparing them to the MSA canvas ones I have for the 200 is chalk and cheese. MSA are solid, fit perfectly and look factory. Those look thin and flimsy.

Chalk and cheese? Is that like comparing apples and oranges?

Pretty much.

These guys also look great but I am not sure if they are available outside of South Africa.

Luckily for me I am going over there next year to visit my sister so I will be keeping my eye out what the companies over there are offering and leaving some room in my suitcase for them on the way back.

They do look nice. Do you know whether there’s an Australian equivalent?

to tell the truth, seat covers always seem cheap, whatever the brand and the price... without ecceptions...

Supafit maybe? I’ll probably look into getting some shipped to Oz though

Razorback might fit the bill but they don't have the Grenadier listed, if they've even heard of it.

I bet they've heard or Recaro though - I wonder if they already have covers for Recaro seats.

We need to see some more pictures of the factory seat covers. I've specced them, but agree they look terrible in that photo. M&M look very nice, and would suit my mushroom vehicle. Only problem is I can't cancel the factory ones now, and won't be forking out on even more once I've taken delivery.

Hopefully that prototype was sporting preproduction variants, or as mentioned they were fitted by Stevie wonder

I'm sure they have, but they seem to sell based on vehicle make/model.

From the supplier bulletin article with Recaro, I took it the Grenadier seats, as far as final form is considered, were bespoke.

I didn't realize that - TBH I assumed they were off-the-shelf seats.

I too have ordered the original front seat covers but after seeing the photos I will definitely delete them!

when I had the Land I had the seat covers made by ASIAM in Italy and they were excellent!

if they don't produce them for Grenadier I will definitely take the M&M also because I will put an adjustable lumbar support between the seat and the cover.
