seat material
« on: June 17, 2016, 02:02:56 pm »
Bought a gti a few days ago which has a rip in the drivers side bolster. Struggling to get a material match for the upholsterer. Does anyone know where I can get it from? Or do I need a full cover replacement from vw or something? Thanks

It's amazing isn't it. We see all the TV programs showing amazing restorations of modern classics and all sorts of clever stuff being done and something simple seems impossible!  :fighting:

250 for a replacement off vw. That's just the back piece as well. I'd have to pay an upholsterer to fit it me on top of that.

Thanks, have you managed to get someone to repair yours using the fabric?

Cool, any chance you can send me a pic of the damage on the bolster on yours just so that I can compare the the on mine?
Cheers.
