Are there specialty Audi salvage houses?
I'm looking to replace my interior and I'd like to get hold of some seats and side panels in a different color. Any ideas aside from ordering from the dealer???

I shopped around for a place to do the job.. I really let my instincts be my guide
some places were cheaper but scary. The place I selected was actually the most expensive but they're ALWAYS busy and ALWAYS working on cool street rods, customs etc...
If memory serves me... I think I spent $1500 on the whole deal... I didn't skimp on the leather either.. It was the most expensive I found.. Smooth grain euro hides (no barbed wire in europe). It's a very soft leather... The install shop said it was like "glove leather"...
I got the hide from Townsend Leather and a shop in Frederick MD (Joe's Upholstery) did the work.
I delivered the seats and door panels to them.
Since that pic, I've also had the knee bolsters done too.
