Defender PUMA Seat Covers - What's Supafit Brand like?

[Robmacca]

Guys....

Looking to get some CANVAS Seat Covers (Front & Rear) for my '09 Defender 110 Wgn and have sort of narrowed it down to a set from Supafit. The price is up there but not as much as others... The quoted price was around $590 delivered from WA.


I'm interested to hear from others who may have this brand of seat cover and what have their experiences been with Supafit Seat Covers ??


Other brands (ie: MSA and Black Duck) were just way out of my price range but if anyone knows of other brands that I should also consider, I would appreciate some comments as to which other brands I should also look into


cheers...

We are happy with our Melvill and Moon......although they are in the upper end of the market.

Black Ducks are worth the money IMO. Very well made, durable, good canvas.

They might be good but they are way over my budget at $800+....

Yeah.... at $700+ plus postage from Sth Africa would take them up to the Black Duck prices... so they too are really outside what I'm willing to spend

It Depends on your budget.
I have expensive Black Duck ones on mine that are nearing end of life.
We bought a set of the ones I have linked to below for my sons D2 (The ones in the link are for a Defender but same product we put in the D2) For their price they are excellent and been in now 2 years. Bottle of red wine tipped on back seat and cleaned up with ease. I would put them on par with some of the more expensive covers. Maybe email them and ask if they do them for the Puma yet as the ones listed are up to 2007 so I assume TD5.

Hi Rob,

I have these in my Defender and they seem to be wearing well. I think they are the only thing holding the drivers seat foam in place at the moment.

https://www.escapegear.com/defender-puma-2007-present/

I think they were about the $700 mark all up as I bought the fronts at one of the shows on special around 2012-2013, and the rears I went to the Hannibal Safari Office at Tingalpa and bought them about 2 years ago.

Might be best to check if they still sell them as they are not on their website, or if you are considering going the national 4x4 show see if there are any show specials.

Interesting price.... How's the fit with these?

If you’re not in a hurry, sometimes black duck have factory seconds on eBay, I bought some and there’s nothing wrong with them. They were brown though, maybe no one wanted that colour and they were trying to get rid of them. However they were cheap, about a quarter what others were listed for, they were brand new in the plastic and everything.

[Shoogs]

A lot of people won’t like this but I’m bought some Britpart waterproof seat covers for the rear seats in my Puma, well made, fit well and definitely waterproof.

I have Recaros in the front so cat get them but I would.

The fit is excellent, they are actually tailor made. The only iss we had with the D2 was they forgot to include the rear centre console piece, but they sent it when we queried.
I sort of look at it for this sort of price can afford to replace them every 4 or 5 years. They were bought as a short term solution but are great.

*Supafit seat covers are made by Minetrans just down the road from me in Whelshpool.
*While I haven't actually tried their seatcovers (prolly going to now at your quoted price) I have used Minetrans for doing head linings in Discovery 2, canvas covers, seat retriming.
*My Pa (Dad) has a canvas cover made by Minetrans 15 years ago (its on its second Defender) the stitching is still perfect.
*Good quality work, they can't be faulted.

*Say Daz from Aztech 4x4 mechanical has recommended you!, you might get a better price again (and I get some good will) [bigsmile]

Thanks Darren... worth a go ;)

might give them a ring tomorrow...

Well, I decided to to do something different... I didn't want to spend big, especially on the rear seat covers as the seats may come out once the kids stop coming with us, so I decided to buy some britpart ones from Paddocks for the rear ones and some supposedly better quality ones from a mob called MyCustomCar.com.au.

The front ones came first and I was happy with the fitted the front seats, I thought the under-seat base straps could of been a bit stronger but overall I was happy with the fit...

A week or 2 later the britpart rear ones came from paddocks... I wasn't expecting much but I gotta say I was very much surprised at the quality and the design and the way they fit the seats. I've only just installed them so our trip later this year will give them a good test, but if I knew what I know now of what appears to be pretty good quality for the price, I probably would have bought the front ones as well and saved some $$.

Saome pics attached...

cheers...

Don't buy them for the recaro specialist pro seats at least.

I have the supafit ones for my seats and the fit is not that supa...

I took them back as the covers for the seat backs were terribly loose and not a contoured fit at all. They did fix that on the spot. I also complained about how the base keeps coming away on the side. but was told that is the best they can do.

in my view it is partly due to the single piece of velcro they use to hold the hold base cover on. I sewed on some more velcro to try and stop the base coming off the seat. It improved it slightly, but it is still rubbish for the price of the covers. I have to keep pulling it back all the time. it is all bound up and not worth the price.
