Oh well ya win some ya lose some, positive thing though, scoot still runs ;)

Go get that panel... Hard to find!

About to swap the seat cover from purplish pink to black, does using a regular staple gun work?

Here's the finished product, I used a regular manual staple gun, it was fairly easy and straight forward.
