About Seat Covers...

I am considering getting seat covers for my 2006 Mini Cooper (Soho Edition).
After reviewing Moss Mini/Coverking options (Wet Okole is a bit toooo much $$$) Neoprene set, I am not sure what "type" to order...
I assume I have "standard" seats in my car?
I know I have air bags in the seats...
Not sure about Lumbar support *****... Where are those located?

My seats:














Any input about figuring this out is welcome...

It appears as if you have the standard (non-sport) seats in leatherette. If I recall correctly, leatherette seats don't get lumbar support, so you don't have to worry about the *****.

from this thread on another board:

CoverKing's over Sport Seating in a JCW


Wet Okole's over standard Leatherette's in my Just'a Cooper

(click photo to open full-size in new Window)

Photo below; you can see the pneumatic 'squeeze-bulbs' for the Okole Lumbar Support:

(I have also added 4" thick Memory Foam under Wet Okole.)
Story Here on another miniforum

Dear god that looks amazing! I have got to get that done... Driving the MINI around Houston can be rough on my back sometimes, maybe the trick isn't to make the car smoother... but make the seat more comfortable.
