My car has blue interior, Uberkaro I’ve seen it called or Plaid, basically I’d call it checked but whatever.
My question is, was there more than one shade of the blue? My car has without doubt had a different drivers seat fitted (probably due to the o/s bolster being ripped I’d guess) but it seems a different shade to the rest of the seats. You can even tell it’s the original headrest to the rest of the car but the seat itself is off.
I have looked about & the grey seems everywhere, loads of sellers on eBay with at material, but zero blue.
Any ideas guys? Or does anyone have a seat for sale?
I’m guessing hard to find maybe?
Thanks
