Hi
We owned a 500 before the 500x which had the darkish tan leather seats. We got them for the style/ quality aspect, and as the standard seats seemed very impractical. The seat fabric was sewn into the seat. Although they looked the part there was no natural ventilation in the centre section and in summer they were sweaty.
I notice in the 500x, things are a bit different, the seats are ecoleather (plastic?) and have a central fabric area which I think works well, as they are ventilated to some degree in the middle where you sit.
I notice all the seats have zips on the backrests and appear as though they could be easily replaced. Yet for some strange reason nobody seems to sell replacements, any ideas why?
It's not that I'm thinking of replacing with dark tan again, not because I don't unnecessarily want to peel a lot of cows but because I'm unsure it'd match with the door inserts and centre armrest. However I think the seat covers on the lounge "city look" car are classy and brighten the interior up and wouldnt clash in the same way.

Finally, has anyone protected what they have currently? I'm reading around and scotchguard multi purpose seems to be an easy to apply cost effective solution.
