MK2.5 seat cover recommendations anyone?

I am looking for some relatively inexpensive seat covers for my MK2.5 - I saw some very nice leather covers on the MX5 parts website but I don’t want to pay £200 for a set!

I guess at the around £50 level it might have to be universal fit ones.

Has anyone fitted some cheap ones and been pleased with the result?

I am trying to reduce wear and tear to my original fabric seats, they still look pretty good after 15 years use with no tears or holes etc and I want to try and keep them that way!

Thanks!

It might be that you just get a couple of waterproof nylon universal ones that are exactly what they look like, universal   over the years I’ve attempted various universal types on different cars and not had much success

Years ago I brought a set of cheap covers for my Polo, to hide a hole in the upholstery. They were cheap, beige and terrible.

Moss sell the Okole seat covers; not exactly £50, but good quality:

There was a company (Serious Auto), since gone bust, that came up with a very neat low cost way to protect seat bolsters from wear; the “seat saver”.

The seat saver fitted behind the middle cushion, and connected at the back.

Then there were Seat Caps, to protect the headrest

Thanks folks

Ive just done a few google searches and cant see any neoprene covers for sale

I like the look of those bolster protectors - shame that they are not sold any longer

Found a similar product, that covers 1998-05 MX5s, the “Auto Chap”:
