Need some help with sport seats

[Anthrax]

I´m going to look on some sport seats for a fourdoor tomorrow, that have some wear and tears in the cloth.

How much fabric is needed for refurbishing the two front seats? Is there a good DIY for doing this kind of stuff? I haven´t used a sewing machine in almost twenty years, so my skills might be somewhat limited, but who knows, maybe I can trick someone else into doing it for me...:)

Also, I was thinking of bying some dogtooth cloth for it, so I don´t have to change my backseat. Plus it looks cooler.

Thanks to 87Blue325iC, I found out my interior color code ( 0211).
As far as I could find out, it should be part number 51921937500 on here, right?

I hope someone here can help me, as I have been looking for these kind of seats for a couple of years now. Apparently sports seats for four doors don´t grow on trees even around these parts. And I don´t want to let these slip through my fingers.

I might as well post the picture from the ad. I know how boring some threads can be without pics.

I can get you that cloth but not sure what shipping is to Sweden.

Oh, I remember looking through your website a while ago. Funny that I forgot about it.

If I understand you correctly, you could get me the type of cloth that is/was on the seats?
The problem then is that I wasn´t thinking of replacing the cloth with cloth of the same kind.

What I want is this:









So I can make it look like this:






Because then I wouldn´t have to do anything about my backseat, as it is in good condition already.


As I wrote in the first post, it looks like the fabric is still available. But I agree that one of your ready-kits would make it a hell of a lot easier to replace.

Also, he is asking 700 Kr for them. That´s less then 90 bucks. He also said that he had already stripped them of the fabric, but that I would get that too.
I´m to drive over there tomorrow to pick them up. Will post some pics of them then.

I have not found that OEM houndstooth, I think some have. Someone might chime in.
