If you need to give them measurements, don't do it. I'd looked at these previously, and thought if they had stencils or something to cut for each car model then they might be good. But no matter how many measurements you give them, the trim will not fit right, To do it correctly, if they have never done a Magna before they really would need the seats there with them to fit them correctly.

I mean, if someone gave you the height, width and depth of some other car, do you think you could cut exact covers that fit snugly considering all the curves and slopes on a car seat?

i like the look of the leather seat options they got. Maybe you could get someone up in melbourne to give the measurements for you (lend the seat for them to measure) or convince someone up there to do it first, that way they have the measurements.
