Special order white seats

Hi,

These seats were installed in the car post-purchase at the dealership and the only paperwork that remains is a non-itemized reciept for $2535.00. Anyone know about them? Are they just standard seats that have been re-covered?

Sorry for the terrible pics. I'm terrible at taking pics.

Those are definitely covered by an aftermarket company. Katzkin is a pretty popular one. Either sales or service will have an invoice from them, but will likely not show due to mark up. Ask them for warranty information on the seats and they should provide you with that.

Could also be Mini Yours seats, but I am leaning toward aftermarket. If you have the VIN I can check the build sheet for you.

Agree, they look like crap IMHO. The installer didn't install correctly

I have the window sticker. Original seats were black and heated. Here's the VIN anyway: WMWXM7C50ET988001

Do you mean the color or the execution? Or both? haha. I dont know yet who exactly installed them, but the invoice was paid to the local MINI dealer...

Yeah, unfortunately that is not a factory option. I am willing to bet if you look up local automotive upholstery shops in your area you can find who did this and what kind of warranty they have. I would highly recommend checking out a website like chemicalguys.com and picking up some leather cleaner and conditioner to keep that clean. White leather has a bad tendency of taking color transfer from jeans and what not. Staying up on it will pay off.

Someone in another thread spotted the Katskins tag on the drivers seat. Forgot to update this one. Mystery: solved.
