hi guys and gals
im wondering if anyone out there knows where to get non gti seat fabrics? as im seriously considering getting my mk1 gx interior retrimmed in the original material but i cant find any at all,its both materials id need to track down as the interiors starting to show its age but isnt ripped ,just got saggy seat cloth on front seats and staining from that leaky britax roof on it.
any help would be great as the seats do let it down a bit on the inside
thanks

Seats look great. Is that napa leather. Also did you have to supply the material. Mines getting done today with the red tartan napa combo can't wait.. Same sort of price but not getting the door cards done but having the console leathered. Going to show the fella yours so that he knows what standard I'm expecting.

I sourced the material for the centers, it is reproduction westy cloth.
The leather is high quality cow hide and not sheep which nappa is made from.
Look forward to see some pics of yours !!

Mines gone in now getting the seats done .
Couldn't help myself but had to see how they were getting on.
Back seats were done I was a bit worried the red tartan would be a bit too much .
Don't know why I was worried after the over the top seats that were in there already .
They looked really good and can't wait til the rest is done.
Here's the cloth that I went for

It will look the dogs !!
I nearly went for that cloth, but then I saw a Rocco with the green and yellow cloth and that made my mind up.
Looking forward to seeing them complete !!
Anything's got to look better than what was in there lol.
Although the guy doing the seats said the amount of work that went into them must have cost a fortune especially 30 years ago.
Plus the steering wheel got replaced a couple of years ago.

Mines been done now. So happy with them totally transforms the car. Centre console looks amazing ( turbo gauge not working now but will get fixed).
Was dark when picked it up so will post up some pics at the weekend.
