Can anyone suggest any sheepskin seat covers that fit the i30?

I've been able to find the following - but don't know which would be best?

Any personal experiences or suggestions?

Yeah, what Gonz said. The main brand they carry fit the FD and GD quite well...  :goodjob:

When I search Autocheap Auto - I get the following:

The SuperCheap Auto brands are SCA & Cloud?  Which brand & which style?
Given that I'm a few hundreds of thousands miles away - I just need which one (or style) - I can organize the logistics. It'll just be a bit hard to take it back...

The Homebrand (SCA) are ok, but the Cloud are the ones I was talking about. They often come on special. You need the Size 30 (detachable head rest) The size 60 are for built in headrests. The Silver is the thinnest, the Gold have a deeper pile and the platignum are the best. I think the gold were the ones we got and they get reduced to about $229 quite often. I got some six star wizz bang ones for my car off ebay and they weren't quite as good as the Cloud one we got for the wife's tourer.

Thanks Dazzer and The Gonz - the info is much appreciated.  I'll talk with friends&family to keep an eye for any sales and then post them over.

To bring people up to date with regards to this thread...

In the end I went for a pair of these: http://files.kiwisheepskins.com/cache/category_and_products_small/cs021-shorn-car-seat-cover-grey-lrg_900_900_s_wm.jpg (http://files.kiwisheepskins.com/cache/category_and_products_small/cs021-shorn-car-seat-cover-grey-lrg_900_900_s_wm.jpg)

It was easier to order and get delivered to the UK than trying to work out the logistics of using friends & family in OZ.

I only wished they were the colour in the website photo - because the ones I received are very light grey or off-colour white...

They do say on the website that different sheepskins colour differently and final product might be different to that of the website photo; however, they try to colour pairs the same.  My pair match - just a fair bit lighter than I was hoping.

I choose this style as they are held by the headrest which means I can put neck & lumbar support underneath easily and can remove very quickly when I'm muddy/dirty and don't want to dirty the fleece.

Hopefully the photo below will work...?

Yes, I thought they must be from Kiwiland because we don't have any sheep that colour here.
