I always look in minicarparts.net first since it's my favorite website for MINI accessories. They have a large inventory and two warehouses. Not every day you hear of a website with TWO warehouses. 
That's HUGE.
You could look here:
http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com
Also this:
http://www.shearcomfort.com/Mini-Seat-Covers.asp
Then if all else fails:
go to askjeeves.com and ask him "Where can I find seat covers for a MINI Cooper?"

I purchased some seat covers for my 2009 Mini Cooper from Shearcomfort.com. It took about 3 weeks to get them and when they arrived, they didn't seem to fit as well as what I had hoped based on the price. They sent an email asking me to review the seat covers and the following is what I wrote.
"I was surprised that there were no instructions but then again, how hard can it be to put them on? I started with the headrests and the fit was very questionable. I had to stretch the neoprene to it's absolute limits just to get the velcro strips to touch. By then, the stitching appeared to be overstressed. I'm not sure how long the stitching will hold out. The other parts fit a little bit better but not much. I've pulled on the material and was able to get the velcro to touch on both the seat cover and the back rest. The fit is just not what I expected at this price point. The biggest issue though is the lack of access to the seat folding lever located in the back of the backrest. There is no access hole in the material and it's is EXTREMELY difficult to pull the latch to fold the seat. Because this is a Mini, folding the seat is needed quite often so I am afraid that soon I will tear a hole in the material. I would not have purchased these had I known of this issues first."
