I was asked some time ago to help out in getting these material made. I finally got off my butt and pulled the trigger on this. I have 7 for the 9 in stock and will have the other 2 late next week.
Materials will run per yard. Or I can have kits sewn up as shown. All 4 pcs $125, + the materials cost. It is recommended you purchase 2 yards to get the sections to line up properly, does burn up material. I will sell sample cards for $25 each that have 3" square samples. If you buy the $25 will be credited to your purchase. I plan to have the GB open til Dec 10th, so if you are looking for a Christmas gift for your car this might be the thing. I sent a kit out to Ken, he should have Friday. Material is $127 per yard If you have us do the 4 pcs kit it will take 2 yards for all 4. Attached image(s) |

In for # 47 BTW: when I purchased the material for my Pasha seats I ordered 3 meters or nearly 4 yards due to pattern repeat. So if you can get by with 2 yards that's good.
Mike, I understand the $ 25.00 sample but how much a yard and when do we send money? |

The center kits at $125 for all 4 pcs+ material cost. Hi Mark. #47 would look nice in my newly-painted Bahia Red '74...what's the total cost for sewn inserts? And do I understand correctly that this would include the black vinyl for the entire rest of the seats? This, of course, would mean changing tactics on the brown carpet set I have on order with you...plus I'd have to replace the brown door cards and rear panel. Would you be able to sew up black door cards with the plaid inserts as well (not the whole door card, just some tasteful inserts with black vinyl). GA, big fan of the plaid cloth interior on my '11 GTI... (IMG:http://img2.netcarshow.com/Volkswagen-Polo_GTI_2011_1280x960_wallpaper_2a.jpg) |

Thank you for doing this Mark! The tartans have been pretty much impossible to get for a reasonable price! The community owes you once again for making these available!
Of course, my new color won't go with the #45 originally on my car now. I may be in for a #48 kit though. |

QUOTE Mark - Looks great. Couple questions. Is this wool What weight How much per yard Will you have side bolster kits available What comes sewn in the kit and what is left to do Do you have a source for replacement foam whats the turn around time from purchase Thanks! mark Yes the details - -This is wool -22-25 oz per yard there is some variation between colors, black seems to be heaviest -$118 per yard -Bolster kits are in the works as the set I sent Ken he wants them too. I anticipate this weekend we can get to taking apart and patterning with a test set to ken early next week. production pending fitting 14-20 days out tentatively. Will be pretty much ready when the 4 pc kit is. - the kits consist of the bases that you will have to remove the vinyl from your old bases, and staple back on. The centers are provided with a section at the base for the wire, and the headrest section sewn in there was a really great article a while back I' ll find an put on the thread. - The replacement foam we could make, but unless there is a significant demand, it's probably not something we will set up to do. - Turn around time - materials only - in stock - a day or two depending on when the order is placed - Kits - anticipate 15-20 day turn around from when the order is placed Thanks, mark |

Excellent Classic thread on how to do this also has another classic embedded in the entire seat, but his is the How to.
The question is material only or $125 we can do this for you http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=187750&hl= |

I'm in for a set. I'm also in for the bolsters. The seats I have are good cores but smell bad so I won't reuse anything but the shell and hardware. I'll go to my local upholster for the foam. I will use the old seat bottoms for a template to make new. Thanks for taking this on.
Maybe trim out the center pad/third seat in matching material (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I'm glad I collected some old core seats |

I had though about making hats with the little pieces that are left over. Not really big enough for much, but on the 2 yards when the pattens are aligned, we cut the sides of the base cushions, if you had then in vinyl, there would be a strip large enough to accommodate the center deposit box (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Mark - What do we do to order and pay. Is it on your website. thanks
*I also noticed that the sides of Johannes cushion is vinyl while yours is fabric. I guess that is why he did it in one yard while yours takes 2. Isn't oem vinyl sides. |

How about the brown vinyl?
Or can I send you the material I want and let you make the inserts? |

Mark, I will try to do one of the seats this weekend and post a picture. Folks will just need to disregard the fact that my bolsters are trashed.
Can't thank you enough for pulling this off! I have wanted to re-do these for 15 years now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) |
