does the dealer stock ecru leather for re-upholstering front seats
anyone have part numbers? I wanna do both front seats all over.
hmm, maybe suede middles?
my leather is beginning to crack, it needs life support, the ecru S6 interiors I saw in CA. were much liter in color and cleaner, they made ecru interior look really good

You're kidding right? Even IF they had it, you couldn't afford it.Instead, I suggest these options:
1. Colprplus (goggle) - they can color match some brush on leather dye. They also have a flexible crack filler.
2. Have your seats sprayed at a shop specializing in auto upholstery. Sean D. had his ecru seats sprayed (they matched the colour very well). Looked good.
3. Re-upholstery - the last resort - can be $$$. But it could be time for suede inserts if you like that sort of thing.

Even if you want to swap the leather of all seat, I supose that any good local leather shop can do you the job for around $1000.

I was quoted...
$2000 for a complete upholstery job(seats only) in my Avant. That was just for labor. Tack on another $1000 for materials(including 2-3 skins and yardage of Gulf Fabrics' Alcantara)...
I'm going to get some other estimates, but quite honestly I feel it's going to be out of the question at the moment.
FWIW, grey Colorplus or similar was already applied with some filler by the P.O.'s professional guy(not the Post Office), and I think it looks passable at best. I'm a bit perfectionistic, so it'll probably do for some. I want silver/black seats like I had in my B5 none-the-less.
Good suggestions, Dave. Just reporting on my research/experience.
