Sheepskins!

Well, sheepskin  :)

I picked up some covers at a local parts store.  The only real sheepskin is the panel at the center but they fit well.

It was a bit of work removing the panels/armrest and re installing them but I think it was worth it.









I already like the new look and they feel better than MBTex on the azz  ;D

I fail to understand why anyone would mix real and fake sheepskin :o but I would like to find a nice set of real sheepskin covers myself at some point.

good on you for trying to protect that nice interior, but honestly, it wont mean much when the car smells of cancer sticks!

Why are there so many ashtrays? I didn't smoke until I got this car  ;D

Most sheepskins (From what I can gather) have synthetic sides/back. These are a little skimpy on the real deal but I didn't want to spend a bunch of $$ and discover I couldn't live with them. Never had any before...

So far so good!

I may be insane but I also want some coco mats  ???

You can get them!  I hope to get a set of red/black ones for my red/black W123 coupe eventually!

It was the 70's - loads of ashtrays, no cup holders - now it's the reverse - on the spec-sheet of new Golfs that I saw recently, an ashtray and cig lighter were listed as an optional extra called a "smoker's pack'...

I've enjoyed my gen-u-wine "Custom" sheepskin seat covers from ShearComfort.com. I also placed a memory foam seat cushion under the sheepskin, above the MBTex. Truly a kingly throne.
