For years now I have been chasing some Holden material for my LX Torana. The material, I'm pretty sure, is called Capricorn and was introduce in the VP Commodore range and used through until VR. Every upholsterer I chatted to has been unable to identify it (they all seem to know it's from a Commodore but unable to name it) let alone obtain it.

I've also recently purchased a set of 2002 GTO seats for my VZ ute which need upholstering and I've been trying to get a hold of the cloth insert that HSV used in their seats (see pic below). Again having no luck at all.

I know that I've probably got zero chance of getting any of the cloth for my Torana as it's been nearly 20 years since the VP range was introduced but I started looking for this material back in about 10 years ago from memory. As for the GTO cloth, I've probably got the same chance; being used in the HSV range there is bound to be even less of it around than if it was used in the Holden range.

Any upholsterers amongst us that may be able to help me put or at least point me in the right direction? :dontknow:

Thanks in advance!

I have some of that VP Commodore Fabric in stock. I am a trimmer in Melbourne. I may also be able to help with the GTO Monaro Faux Suede.

Call me if you still need it. Ph: 0405 818 360

The top material is vr only. It is still commonly available if you know where to look.

The Monaro stuff is fake suede. Easy to match up
