Default Front Seat Covers

Anyone know where I might look for some inexpensive front seat covers for my 97' A4? I was looking for a pair that might possibly have the Audi logo in either black or tan, but so far all I can find is Universal type covers with no logo's. There's a rather large rip in my drivers seat, and I realy don't want to replace it. thanks !

seat covers usually look awful, buy a leather repair kit and fix it.

how much would a replacement leather upholstery cost? or maybe even a craigslist leather seat thats in good condition would be more cost effective? and i agree, seat covers look shitty.

i have heard that you can buy seat covers from the stealership and the rumor was that they arent 2 expensive

it would be easier to find a passenger seat in the same color and swap out the bottom skin. sourcing one may take a while but you sure cant beat a factory replacement at a **** cheap price point.

If you have side air bags DON'T put seat covers on them. It makes the air bags not open correctly.

look for a wrecked one and pull/buy the seat(s) from it. Look at a junkyard, or search for someone who specializes in repairing audis and pulling them apart to sell the parts.
