Pretty much like the picture.
I'm on my coffee break, this is hard work. Tiny hands are a help but I could do with bigger muscles. I've done the front passenger seat and it's looking good. I may not have got the fitting quite complete because there are a couple of elastic straps I'm not sure what the function is, and the bag that looked like a length of chain is actually ten metal hook-like things and I don't have a clue what they're supposed to do or where they're supposed to go, but one thing at a time.
Jeez that was hard work. I've managed to do the front seats, and the rest can wait till tomorrow. I was having trouble getting a good photo because the sun was so strong, but this gives a decent idea.
I still have no idea what the ten metal hooks are for, or the elastic loops at the bottom of the backs of the two front seats. I may yet discover this. It might all benefit from further tweaking and nipping and tucking, but in fact the fit is very good.
I might get better lighting conditions to take more photos when I've finished the job.
I think it's a bit of a pity the two zips are black, it would have been nicer if they'd been beige to match the covers. I think the photo on the web site shows beige zips. But it's not a big issue.
This is a picture I took at half-time when I'd only done the passenger seat - the light wasn't so strong so it has come out better.
ETA: This was originally three separate posts made at different times as I worked on the job, but they were somehow merged into one. I spent about ten minutes unmerging them, and it all happened again! Hope it makes sense.
