I've finished the "practice" vinyl seat covers for the front seats of the 280 -- I will take pictures tomorrow when I install the driver's set and post them when I get them scanned in (no digital cam yet, I'm old fashioned).

Turns out to be fairly easy, except for getting the bottom edge the right length (the passenger side is too long, will need to re-do that someday, or not, since I'm making leather ones next).

The only real problem is that I cannot get the vunyl or leather perforated, and will have to live with non-perf leather. I did find one place that could perf it, but would only do a side at a time, and wasn't interested in the 7.5cm separated by 1.5cm of non-perfed leather pattern ---- someday.
