Need to replace or change stock seat...Advice sought.

The idiot at the drive thru at krystal (southern thing, if you've never heard of it) spilled a coke in my car. All over the car.

It has actually changed the colour of my seat, It almost looks bleached.

And it drives ME NUTS.

Is there any thing I could do, Could I somehow order a new seat? I have the upholstered seats,, hate leather, lol.

Any thoughts? I know something about airbags in the seats, which is a nice feature for me, that I don't want to sacrifice.

Krystal is southern for White Castle, right? (Tiny hamburgers, eh?)

Have you complained to the management there? I'm sure a new seat's going to be pretty spendy. Your other option would be some seat covers. I've heard good things about the Wet Okoles, and they're supposedly designed to still allow the airbags to work.

can't you just order new OEM covers? I think so.

Damn, well that seriously sux. Lucky for you I'm actually posting from the MINI dealership right now and the parts department here is open. Will check on this and get back to ya.

Edit: (assuming you have the checkered cloth) it's ~$232 for the bottom seat cover and $289 for the back.
