"My 85 UrQ has the blue leather seats (not the diagonal type).  The
drivers seat is a little shabby and Id like to get it redone. There is
some ripped leather as well as ripped stitching. Where do I get covers?
How do I get this fixed?"

Bob, your best bet will be to either: find a set of good condition black
leather seats, and then have a qualified leather upholsterer redye them
to a matching blue - or - have the same upholsterer repair the torn
leather and stitching, and then dye match the replaced panels. These
guys can really do wonders. Gonna cost though. Counter the pain with the
thought of what Audi would charge you for these covers if (snowballs
chance in hell) they had them. Look in the yellow pages under Antique
furniture restoration - leather.
