The idea behind me using those seats were that they would be cheap... they worked out at something like 160 a seat but with the covers it was another 90 so there not cheap at all. Saying that they are really comfy with the covers but a pain in the arse without.

The reason i didnt go with the ones you brought greg was the fact that there pretty much exactly the same as mine just with holes in and some extra strenghthening, and you cant get comfy covers for them just the foam padding round the sides and base.
