Have you seen one of these before?

Hi. I'm having a dilemma!
Trying to replace the drivers side bolster on my interior but cant fine the cloth to match.
Apparently it's quite an unusual interior?
Can anyone point me in the right direction please. I don't want to change the interior colour aa the door cards are mint and I really like the style.
Just need to find someone who
Can match the navy blue cloth ( as close as possible)
Thought about getting something close and dying it all to blend it in ?
Thanks

i`m sure i`ve got some jeans that are the same colour and texture, you`re welcome to try em. :D

failing that i`d take it to a pro and get some advice, i`ve tried dyeing stuff before and its never matched up right. a proper upholsterer should be able to find something pretty close.

hope that helps. :dontknow:

I agree with 1000NY that your local vehicle upholsterer should point you in the right direction

Thanks,
No joy at upholsterers. Out of a 1990 gti cab.

Looks like I'm going to change the whole interior to leather - probably get it re-trimmed. I want it all to match prefectly.

This will all be up for grabs quite soon including the door card covers and seat covers.

someone on here may correct me as im not 100% but think that looks like a interior out of a quartet special edition cabby / limited run, there has been a few sets of that interior go up on here from time to time, so if you hold out you maybe able to get a good drivers seat and keep the rest as spares, if not hope the info help you track down material
