Trying to source Alcantara material



I'm trying to source the 'suedelike' alcantara trim material used in 86/87
5Kt and tqs mit sport seats. It came in brown (Sierra, I believe) and
Graphite. Placement was seating centers front and back, along with upper
door panels. I've seen articles and pictures indicating that later S4/6
euros and RS2s may have been fitted with various colors. An article in a
copy of VW/Audi Car awhile back mentioned how people were going back to the
factory to have their seats redone in this manner.

Besides a great look, it flat welds yer butt to the seat in comparo to Hide
Food (TM) prepped leather. Do any of our Euro friends have a source? I
probly only need about 2-3 yards... Every place I've called here - including
Porsche only upholsterers, euro specialists, etc don't have a clue since its
so rare here in the states.
