looking for upholstery cloth source

Post by DonT »

UPHOLSTERY SANDBEIGE 0036 is on my 1980 528i and apparently is no longer available as replacement covers. I am looking for a source for factory replacement covers or for the factory fabric to replace panels. Any help is appreciated, thanks Don

Good luck. Other than constant searching on eBay or a parts car I know of no other sources. You may try contacting Coupe Kings as they have occasional e12 bits and pieces or may be able to point you in the correct direction.

I often hear World Upholstery mentioned as a possible source. I wouldn't hold my breath but they might just have something.

I have inquired at world upholstery, Gahh, Global-upholstery, no one has the beige velour.
I was referred to WestTrading in NL
http://www.westtrading.nl/
if you look thru there website they have 3 or 4 different colors of velour,
but the only inconvenience it that they only will talk to people of the trade.
since I am not ready to take the inside of my car, i didn't have my upholsterer reach out to them.

let me know you make out.

I have a complete set of green velour you could dye the right color. Front and read seats in great shape. Dye them and bolt them right in.
