Seat covers

Post by ArtyAndrew » Thu Aug 20, 2020 1:20 am

Hello everybody. I'm new on here. I just bought a bongo friendee model and I'm considering new seat covers to freshen up the driver and passenger seats. Does anybody make them? Or know of somewhere that does please? Cheers! Andrew :D

Welcome.
I dont know of any tailored for the Bongo. There are some reasonably good after market universal ones on the web.
Else give them a good shampoo if there not to badly worn. Could suprise yourself how they can clean up.
Have a look at the fabric dyes on You tube too.

Halford's spray Upholstery Cleaner is excellent and has got great reviews from Auto Express.

A customer of ours recently told us that they'd asked a vehicle upholsterer for the price up a tailor made set of slip-covers for the Bongo. They were quoted a starting price of over £100 per seat!. Apparently there's a lot of work involved.

Lidl or Aldi get sets in fairly often that fit a Bongo. And there are plenty on Ebay and the Internet.
Allan's closed. in Plymouth we recommend PGS (Plymouth Garage Services) or Mayflower Auto Services
