Where to find tartan upholstery fabric

Post by Scottsbug69 »

Good Morning
I am looking for tartan upholstery fabric for a restoration project, the kind found in the Golf GTi MK1.
I have tried many fabric shops but cannot find a grey tartan pattern anywhere.

Does anybody have any suggestions please?

Thanks rat

i tried them but they only have a cream based tartan, which might get dirty quickly.

The tartan is supposed to match your bugs colour if you want it correct.
