Makro used to sell them at £99 pair. I can't find them on their site now though.

They are quite wide and are mounted with bolts up into the underside as the pictures show. We had several customers buy them for Mini's and they are too wide.

The quality of material didn't look too great. I would expect tears and wear quite easily. Having said that, they are *very* cheap so if they last a few years, they might still be a bargain!

A mate across the road has a set in his Cherokee there from ebay. They seem fine, if a little hard in the seat. there snug.

But as money pit says I'm not sure how long they will last without ripping, probably about the same as a defender :lol: .

I'm thinking of getting a set my self.

I have a set of those in the disco, very comfortable and supportive off road, also a lot easier to clean off, I think there are some pics in my gallery.

ive had several sets of them and one pair was just over 40quid,  they used to flood ebay with them and sell them auction style, back to the point though, they are a cheap pair of seats! but for the money they are excellent, pretty hard wearing and look th e mutts nuts.
i would reccomend them, only downside i could think of is if you do lots of driving (motorways ect), they get a bit uncomfortable.

if you are going to buy buckets , buy buckets.

If you want comfy adjustable back seats there are better out there. I think you might struggle width wise fitting them as the folding mechanism does make them wider.
