Seat Covers
Likely picking up my new 08 Mellow Yellow MC this week. I've got the standard seats and would like to install seat covers. I think I'd like something cloth-like, but am open to any good recommendations for material and suppliers. The car does have heated seats :nod: if that matters. Thanks!

There is only one when it comes to color, quality, fit, and craftsmanship. Don't let the price deter you...you most definitely get what you pay for. :nod:
Wet Okole :thumbsup: http://www.wetokole.com/mm5/merchant...FREcagodx1KhRg |
Got mine. Lovin' it.

+1 for wet okole!!!:thumbsup:

What materials do they use? I was just on their website and didn't we where they describe their products. Are they seat covers that go over the current seats, or are they replacements?

I don't have them in my MINI....yet....I had them on my miata and I LOVED them! They are made out of neoprene. I know of several people on NAM that have them on MINI's. The covers go over your seats, and they still work with the airbags in the seats. For the money, they are well worth it, I just don't have the money yet to have them on my MINI :lol: :nod:

If you've ever been in a wetsuit...it's that material.
Cool in the summer. Warm in the winter. Is easily washed. Doesn't fade. Doesn't stretch out of shape. |

Does it go over the seats, or do you have to remove the current upholstery?
|
Your luck day. Just posted new seat covers in the market place.

got'em on my R56. Lasted well on my previous R53 although they did fade a bit after 3 years. Didn't do the recommended washing, tho. Love them. They do give the car some more cush in the tush and keep you in the seat in corners due to they coefficient of friction. Had the logo on my last set but they didn't have it availiable on this set. BMW/MINI may have complained of logo pilfering or something.
Don't have pictures yet.:roll: Sorry. |
Wet Okoles
Has anybody here bought the neoprene seat covers from Moss? I'm just wondering if the Wet Okoles are worth the extra cost.
Thanks, gaminis |
Thanks for the tip! :thumbsup:
Just ordered some Swatches. Want to see how well their wine color goes with Nightfire Red. Thinking of getting the Type 3 covers with black/wine or black/charcoal. Either matching the paint color or the anthracite headliner depending on how their colors look. Has anyone ordered their Lumbar Support? Would like to get opinions on how comfy it is. |
They look good, but do they have anything in leopardskin, I mean 'cmon, that's the cool pattern this year. I think Paris Hilton's Merc is sporting some!
|
Anything out there for people who don't like sitting on a wetsuit?
|
i have the coverking (thats what moss motors sells) and the advantage they have over the wet okole is they make covers to fit the sport seats unlike okole which only have a single pattern. they also go on real easy. wet okole has to their advantage a great selection in colors and piping option

Have you tried the Okoles? Very comfy seat. If you really don't want these go for a good set of lambskin covers. They will far outlast and be a better cover than any fabric covers available. |

That's not true...which is precisely why they require so much detailed information about the car (MINI) they are being made for...they are going to ask you about model, style, seat configuration, air bags, etc. |
when you go to their web site to order they only ask the year not whether you have sport seats or not--perhaps if you call the selection is greater but their web site doesn't. i stand corrected if this is a fact. i also read in another thread on this site that the cover was not seat type specific but fit
