New-to-me 2016, the door panels are white "leather texture" and a sort of roughened feel - sure to get dirty & hard to clean.

Can these be replaced with smooth & black?

Has anyone found a covering material or at least some way to stain them black?

Factory replacements are pricey usually, check out realoem.com

 

I have those on my mini. I've had it for almost a year and I can tell you from experience that shoe scuffs, grease stains from mechanic, bird poop (had my window open) have all wiped off with water or meguires interior detailing wipes. No staining issues whatsoever.

 

WOW, Thanks, that is very encouraging!!

Still sort of like 'em black if anyone knows how, but this sure sets my mind at ease!

No problem! Do you have the satellite grey seats too?

 

I'm looking at the original sticker which was folded up woith all the other papers.

I don't think so - they look mostly black - the fabric in the middle darkish gray - I think that's what "Cloth/Leatherette Black Pearl means, but then it goes on to say on another line: "Sport Seats".

The interior color and "Color Line" are satellite gray - which is what looks white to me

I'm surprised it doesn't seem to have a CD player, the original owner piled on a lot of extras.

Thanks, -Oly

Those are nice seats. Minis don't come with CD players anymore, it was never an option .

I say keep the grey interior accents, including the door panels. you don't see very many minis with grey door panels. I really wanted them, so when I found a car that had the grey seats and door panels I snatched it right up!
