    I want to redo the leather in my old Scirocco. I like the feel and smell of BMW's but where can I find rolls of this stuff on the internet?? I keep getting google hits for leather care or cars with leather on ebay.

    Can someone point me to a good leather distributer that will sell the stuff per square foot?

    Quality varies a lot. The best stuff is Connolly but I've heard that they have stopped production.

    I've used world upholstery a couple of times, they are excellent.

    and yes, Connolly is closed, has been for a couple years although I've seen a couple people selling remnants.

    Yeah, I had to use Mercedes Benz leather when I redid my 308's interior. Near perfect match with the Connolly. Can't tell the difference.

    Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Don't tell anyone!! The purests here would flip. :D
