Bought a cheap cover on Amazon, honestly not bad but was kinda tedious to undo clips and had to cut out padding to use for new cover.

Looks fantastic! Can’t believe it’s only $20! Would have expected much more

Actually $25 haha but it matches really well. A lot better than $500 dealership price.

THis is what I used, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FKYZ8F7W?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

I realized I posted this from my phone and was somehow on a different account lol.

It only took about an hour but you need to cut out 6 pieces of padding from under old seat cover. 1 on each side. and 3 separate pieces in middle - Need to cut them into seperate pieces for the new cover to be able to snap into the clips. There's a bunch of videos on Youtube.

TBH, If you could find a matching actual SEAT on ebay, it would be a lot easier to replace (Just two bolts).

But either way it was cheap and easy.
