So the covers I bought don't fit - slight panic - rang MSA, and what a fine lady Michelle is - I can return the ones I bought, and my front seats are going to be the template for the new 07 Defender seat covers! Grover will be famous!

Looks like quite a few dimensions have changed then.

The Adelaide dealer told me that the previous 07 Defender he sold can't have a bull bar fitted or a long range tank fitted because the existing (previous model) items do not fit. Like you - they had to be sent back.

ARB want a new model to take measurements from for a week, so thay can adjust their current patterns.

Yeah the seats are different, a bit comfier too but I'm still getting after markets in!

I've been getting the run around with after market stuff and I'm concerned now because some people are saying I.E O.L that they have a tank and under body protection and bull bar BUT then I'm hearing many stories saying that ain't true so i'm concerned.
