Melville & Moon Seat Covers
I fancy some of the Melville and Moon seat covers, has anybody every fitted some to the D3. I phoned Exmoor and they are side airbag compatible apparently.
Not cheap, but they do look good. £407 for set of 5 seat and £210 for front seats.
Maybe group buy

yes, I've fitted mine recently. they are a tight fit and a bit of a struggle to get on but the end result is superb.the HSE set comes with arm rest covers too. LRM (or LRO) did a destruction test on them this month. my only complaint is that i ordered them at the LRO show in Peterborough but they took 6 weeks to arrive. but other than that i thoroughly recommend M&M seat covers.Prince Harry's D3: G4 factory equipped D3 - expo rack, winch, roof lights, ladder, active locking rear diff, RAI, Melville & Moon seat covers, General Grabber ATs/ Goodyear Duratrac

unfortunately, it seems i even paid slightly more than you've been quoted (by £10, i think). however, they are the best covers i've ever bought so perhaps it worth the kids going hungry Prince Harry's D3: G4 factory equipped D3 - expo rack, winch, roof lights, ladder, active locking rear diff, RAI, Melville & Moon seat covers, General Grabber ATs/ Goodyear Duratrac

no they don't! they have a sort of disclaimer on them, but i also asked exmoor trim and nene overland (where i bought them) and they both said they were air bag compatible. there are lots of members who have been told the same.Prince Harry's D3: G4 factory equipped D3 - expo rack, winch, roof lights, ladder, active locking rear diff, RAI, Melville & Moon seat covers, General Grabber ATs/ Goodyear Duratrac

CW, email the factory in africaland and they'll send them direct to you cheaper than I've seen them in the UK - very helpful people.

Don't do it!
Trust me it's not worth it, no matter how much discount you might get. Did you see what happened to my jetboil group buy?

I have a set of these on mine. Not cheap (bl dy expensive, more like), but they do fit very well, and certainly feel up to the job.
I also had a set on my last car (D2); they saved the seats in a big way. After 5 years (ab)use, the seats were the same as when I bought the thing ...Regards,

I put M&M seat covers on my leather seats in the summer. Much nicer to go to the beach.
Can't use the rear covers on mine though. Would only fit the 3 "individual" seats configuration, not the 40/60 split rear bench. Not that they tell you in advance of course..... The older I get, the better I was.
