Install was relatively easy though (10 mins) I did manage to crack the seat adjust switch when I tried to pull it out.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hello everyone, it’s probably been discussed to death on here although I can’t seem to find any threads for it. Does anyone know of suitable bolster protection for the 918 seats? I have seen a company in the US that are producing them for around £1000-£1200 a pair which seems a little steep IMO. Then you obviously have to get them here!
Any info gratefully received

I have had these. Very nicely made and almost invisible when fitted.

That’s brilliant and thank you. Your the second person that has suggested these now.

Thank you for the kind offer! Unfortunately my car has the yellow stitching. Another gent offers me a set with the red stitching….looks like I’ll have to take the plunge but sounds like they are the ones to go for. Thanks again.

OP, just lift yourself over the bolsters using your hand on the sill. It's good exercise.
Oh I’m the size of a 14 year old……it’s my passengers that keep pestering me for rides that I’m worried about

The EdGuard ones fit perfectly. Basically invisible when installed.

How did the installation go? Keen to get some covers like this.
Install was relatively easy though (10 mins) I did manage to crack the seat adjust switch when I tried to pull it out. In retrospect you don't need to pull it out, just ease the surround a bit to let the cut out in the leather sit flush. May need to adjust slightly though as I could pull it a bit tighter.
All in all, it's well made, looks good and does the job.

that's good news, any creasing etc from use?
to curb that, you'll need a bolster protector for your bolster protector
;-)
@MCPZ - I’m very careful and didn’t see any creasing on the cover or the seat itself. I think the main benefit is to avoid rubbing wear which might result in a shiny finish, cracking etc.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
