Ah. Color correctness might be a big problem -iirc, the 'color' is actually a couple shades dappled together... Though I expect one could get close enough.

I actually have some front covers (W123) that might work for you - with some work. Currently they have vinyl spray green.

I've just tested a couple chem-removers, and it looks like "Goof Off" dissolves the vinyl spray color w/o ruining the base material.

Here's the test area...



Let me know if these are worth the postage to you. I have only the front seat covers (head rests are OE green) The bottom piece pictured is the passenger side. The driver's side doesn't have as much body to the center 'ribs.'
