Hi,

I am a new member just starting the refurb of a 1985 300GD and the seats need recovering. I would like to replace them as original pattern, its a small check. Any ideas where I might be able to source this seat fabric?

Also it will need a respray. The original colour was red.  Should I keep the original colour or would it devalue if I choose a different colour?

Thanks,

Bren

I'd go with the colour on the V5 if you have to paint anyway.  Just be aure that was the original colour.

For the seat fabric, is it the smal check or the later grey wider one?

Post up or PM the VIN / Reg No

And I can give you the proper colour code from factory

Hi,

Many thanks looking at the samples it is the older check the smaller of the two.

Any ideas where I could get enough to do all the seats?
