V2 CV8 Monaro and VF SSV Redline
Just a bit of a heads up. Check any chrome surrounds around the car as these are a bit of a thing.

Last weekend I replaced the auto shifter surround which was a little scratched up (not a lot just a bit) by the previous owner these are going up in price mine was a full assembly for $50 pretty sure this has gone up up. I also had chrome lifting around the passenger side air vent. This was quite a thing as the first ebay seller sent me a stuffed one even after I specifically asked to check the chrome has not lifted - refund, second seller stuffed up just shipping the thing. Third times a charm and now I have a nice non-lifting one. Feels good to tidy up those little things.

Next thing for me will probably to check the front of the car make sure none of that is lifting as there still seems to be plenty of those in the new and used market.

Still haven't done the install. Check the link below for install instructions, sounds pretty straightforward. I'm debating whether to install or sit on them as another part to hold onto, like the start button, driver's seat bottom cover, steering wheel, and a clutch or three. It's the LHD parts that are gonna be tough to get over here, the cowl is one of many examples already... ☹

Was this the cover type you wanted https://www.holmart.com.au/holden-vf-ssv-leather-right-front-seat-base-trim-j or light grey stitch for $30 less https://www.holmart.com.au/holden-vf-calais-calais-v-sedan-wagon-right-front That price is outrageous , I managed to get the back and seat cover for my passenger seat for $725 through Holden , i only needed the back so the seat cover is in the parts stock pile .
I had a bit of a look at your link at the seat covers for passenger and driver seat base covers and noticed a $100 difference compared to this one https://www.gmpartswarehouse.com/oem-parts/gm-cushion-cover-92282575?c=bT0xJmc9Ym9keSZzPXBhc3Nlbmdlci1zZWF0LWNvbXBvbmVudHMmbD0xJm49UmVjb21tZW5kZWQgUHJvZHVjdHMmYT1jaGV2cm9sZXQmbz1zcyZ5PTIwMTUmdD1iYXNlJmU9Ni0ybC12OC1nYXM= , would this be because of trim level as it doesn't really show exactly the trim or is it that there is a difference between driver and passenger base covers obviously the backs are different because of the air bag , i cant really see a difference between the 2 even though left and right are listed with different part numbers but i can see that each one replaces 2 part numbers , i assume left and right , i know they list the SS door badges as left and right with different part numbers but there identical

I noticed quite a difference between the two. Honestly I thought maybe it was because our passenger seat is your driver's seat and they want them for you guys cuz you got a lot more of this car than we did. although, I guess I don't know if you have the red stitching down the middle on your SSVs or not. I'll have to take a look when I get home and see if there's a difference between the two I haven't figured that part out yet Could be the wiring for the heating and cooling on the different side or something I'm not really sure

I should have added, we have no SS door badges. As for the trim level, we only got one. The VF series SS '14 had only two options besides color, a full sized forged Alcoa spare and a sunroof, while the '15 VF and the '16-'17 VFII SS offered only those plus transmission, although the VFII went to a cast wheel. I think the SS is similar to your SSV Redline. I believe the differences besides LHD/RHD include some of the electronic architecture, as well as the LS3 was all years here, VF and VFII, and the magride was '15 VF and the VFII. Not sure about you guys, but we lost the rear seat bottom slide out cupholder in '15, and lost the CD player and aux jack in '16. Brembos front silver '14, front and rear silver '15, red f&r VFII. Heads up display all four years here. Also got a magride recalibration for the VFII, making it softer in all settings. I preferred my non magride '14 suspension, it was fantastic. I like the '15, although I never take it out of performance mode, because SS. :cool:

So are you after driver or passenger cover , i assume passenger if your asking 15SUPERSPORT about his driver seat cover . I compared the 2 and there is a difference , there is an extra leather strip on the out edge (door side) of the cover
