Rod, The factory has developed seats for the mk3 with headrests that are`nt just a blob on top but are crescent shaped. The problem you have with the leather is that the leather is not consistent thru all the years as the suppliers change batches slightly, so even if I get from the factory it could well differ. The other very important aspect is that because of the angle of the backrest the seat cant be used in the full rear position. Tape a dowel to the back and slide back the seat until the dowel touches the body and then still allow another inch forward and that is where the seat will be in the maxed back position.

My suggestion is new seats or possibly try Tony(?). Dont know if he will match without having one of your seats to do so.
I`m waiting for pics and pricing from the factory and if you are interested can pass them on to you.
