Hi, I’m picking up an Audi Coupe GT (B2)on Saturday, anyone know a supplier for original seat fabric, & then general service parts etc? Thanks 

Kieran.

Your chances of finding a matching seat fabric for repairs are close to zero because new cloth will not have faded like the original undoubtedly has. On the other hand if your intention is to recover all upholstery then your best bet is to take it to a car trimmer.

Thanks Cliff, if I could get the “correct “ cloth material, I’d just get everything redone, was hoping Audi/ suppliers would still have stock.

Unlikely, but it would not hurt to ask Audi.

I'd recommend you try Audi heritage. 

Thanks Steve, will do

You're welcome 

Worth searching EBay for general service parts.

Regards,

Yes will do 

I'd echo the comments about service parts and ebay - I think there is a reputable supplier in the south west who sells on ebay called Parts-in-Motion. For trim parts Highland Quattro, also on ebay could be useful. I may be going to them for some parts in the future as I believe they also occasionally arrange to have new parts made in moderate volume and although these are for UR Quattro they also sometimes fit the Coupe GT. I have located a number of dismantlers in Germany that will ship internationally but not tried yet:

 Felgensätze ohne Reifen | Felgen / Reifen | Nach Ersatzteilart | Ersatzteile | autewo GmbH Audi-Ersatzteilhandel

This site can be useful for checking original VAG part numbers: AUDI, Audi Coupe Europe, 1988 - Catcar.info 

As for re trimming, I will need to do some of this on my 1988 Coupe GT. The seats have been retrimmed and are in decent condition but the fabric doesn't match the door cards which does my head in. I'm considering a retrim of seats and door cards in a matching chestnut brown vinyl/leather to match the dashboard and carpets. It will depend how wealthy I feel come the time because I seriously doubt the availability of good used or new original material.

Good luck with your 1984 GT. I had one back in the 90s and loved it. I would like to have found a good one this time round but I'm broadly happy with my 1988 model.

Post some pictures please when you get a moment, I'd love to see them. Kind regards.

Hi Adrian , thanks for all that info, will definitely be of use, I’m getting the car Saturday, so will put up some photos, can you put some of yours up 👍🏻

Hi Kieran. Looking forward to seeing the pictures of your car. Can I ask where you found it? Ebay? Here are some pictures of mine. I've posted them before when I first joined this forum.

Evening Adrian, that looks lovely, tornado red? I seen it on EBay (thankfully ) it’s a one owner 58,450 miles on the clock, was dry stored 25 years, interior ruined tho, he’d put gaffer tape on the seats !Will get more pics, but we’ve had plenty of rain 

Hi Kieran. Sorry for the slow response. Well done on your B2 Coupe! I smiled when I saw the picture as I was watching this one on Ebay. I have a saved search for any B2 Coupes as I am just curious about what is still out there. Yours was most interesting because it is a 1984 model just like the one I had in the early 90s. I have the fondest memories of that car and although the reasons for parting with it in 1994 were sound I still regret letting it go. See the attached (grainy scans of 35mm film pictures) images I dug up. I understand the two tone paintwork on mine was a factory finish, some kind of special edition and I have seen another identical paint scheme on another 1984 car on another classic car auction site. I fear my old car was scrapped a few years after I sold it but if it were still to exist I would move heaven and earth to get reunited. I have searched the Gov.uk website and records ended some time ago sadly. It represented a time when I was in my early twenties and having lots of freedom and time to enjoy the car. Subsequently in 2004 owned a 1984 Coupe Quattro Turbo in Tornado red when you could, and I did, buy one for about £3K. Sadly my circumstances changed so I had to sell that one too for about what I paid for it having refurbed the interior using material scavenged from the rear bench, sorted the engine tuning and fitted a new SS exhaust. If my current Coupe had an MOT and was a bit tidier I would probably sell to try for another 1983-4 model as I think they just look better, more classic.

That’s a cracking motor! I’ve wanted one for about 40 years, hoping to keep this one for life. I know what you mean by selling that one, as done for the right reasons at the time, I’ve had to do the same myself, but always will have regrets. I literally fall in love with my cars, & money & space available would never have sold one,your current one looks great
