: Seat Covers?

I've searched MINI2 and found next to nothing on the subject of seat cover options. I've seen the sheepskin ones on eBay and the ones made from wet-suit material... I'm looking for some very tight fitting cloth covers, but NOT the MINI brand ones... I don't like that wavey print pattern on them.

Anyone have any info/links/sources?

Thanks for the lightning-quick response, Paul. I only see leather options at that vendor, however. Still looking for cloth. Anyone?

Didn't realise you were after non-leather.

Don't have experience with the suppliers mentioned here but my attempt to put seat covers over Z3 leathers seats was a total disaster as i couldn't stretch them tight enough to be a good fit.

I am tempted to believe that would be the case no matter who makes them - my 2 cents worth

Ditto on that. Antsmini, I'd be really interested to hear what do you think of the neoprene seat covers? Good fit? Good quality?

Will the neoprene keep water from ruining my seats? I'm looking for seat covers for when i go on surf trips in the summer, so that i dont have to worry about drying my bathing suit before getting in the car.

Before putting any seat cover on you, should make sure they will not have any affect on the side air bag in the seat. It states in the owners manual not to put seat covers on the front seats for this very reason.

They were just shipped today. I will post some pics once I have them installed.

Charles,

I wondered about this too so I emailed the folks at Wetokele who are also selling the seat covers and they assured me that they will not interfere with seat airbag deployment.

MINI also supply seat covers in the original material of your car.

Can you get two tone MINI seat covers? Or only in third party?

antsmini,

Looking for an update on the Wet Okole seat covers, it has been about 3 weeks since they were shipped.

Did you receive them? Are they for the Sport or Standard seat? How do they fit? How was the installation? Any other comments? Thanks!
