Default Blue Recaro Srd

I just bought a pair of blue recaro srds and one of them has a huge tear in them. I called recaro and they said they dont carry that color fabric anymore
I was wondering if someone can help find something thats as close as possible to the color and the material.
Thanks.

As doood said call around and see... but upholstery work isn't cheap one will look different then the other also by how much, you'll have to see what's available.

Check ebay, there are people that list door inserts for eg's with the word recaro in em, they may have some surplus fabric they purchased or something.

considering what it will cost to re-upholster that one seat, and possibly the other one so they both match, it's not looking like such a great deal.

OP, so how much did you pay for them?
driver condition seat looks fine, passenger seat looks like the dog was the passenger and used the seat as a chew toy

Why don't you just get some new DIFFERENT color fabric from recaro? Black?

Basically this. I'm no Recaro expert, but those look like an older version of the current Recaro Speed, which is offered in blue suede. If you want them both reupholstered, just get their blue suede fabric and call it a day. Too bad their site specifically says "RECARO does not re-cover or refurbish used or vintage seats".
