My First Porsche & Help Identifying the Interior

Hi everyone

I've just bought my first Porsche (will post photos after quarantine), after various help on this forum and a PPI, which meant I swerved a couple of shockers. To be honest, the 911 SC Coupe I've bought is still a bit of a shocker as it needs a lot of work on the body (I'm expecting bare metal) and the engine needs some tlc, but it's silver with under 100k miles, decent enough service history and the price was fair enough that I could buy it now and spend the large amount of money in time (I have OCD so will be doing it properly)

One thing I want to get the ball rolling on is the interior. The seat pattern I've only ever seen in 1 other SC and can't find it anywhere. I want to repair it and was interested in your thoughts in a.) being able to get hold of a patch somewhere in the world if anyone knows the pattern name or anyone with stock or used or b.) if I need to get a specialist to try and replicate the pattern via patching it up? Photos below.

Really appreciate any help

OP, this thread has been moved to the SC forum.

If you have original owners manual and if that cloth was a special option i would have thought it will be listed in the manual somewhere. Additionally i'm sure someone on this forum will have or can find the options list for that car, shouldn't be to difficult.
 
That looks like it could be repaired if there is some extra material they can take from say the seat base/back sections which are normally hidden from view :thumb:
 
Thanks for all the inputs so far. I did think I could take the cloth from the front seat headrests and recover those headrests in leather. Otherwise can try the long (potentially very long) game of watching eBay items and hope a used seat comes up some time in the future.

Sorry, was on the move when reading this. Just going through now. Looks like this has 2 companies that 'say' they sell the fabric. Going to email them now. If it works; you've made my day.

IF ANYONE KNOWS...where is best to buy new foam seat pads, I'd really appreciate it, as I may as well replace the foam when getting the upholstery done.
