Genuine Porsche black leather
Hi, does anyone know where I can go to get hold of a roll of genuine Porsche black leather? I found out that Boxmark supplies them to Porsche but have tried in vain to reach them. My interior has got some pretty nasty scratches and would need new leather. Buying the trim panels new from the dealers would cost too much.
Alternatively, does anyone happen to have a used black leather glove lid for RHD 997 and a set of rear seats lying around? Or know where I can get them. These pieces are suffered the worst abuse.

Tuck,
Click on Sponsores at the top right hand corner of the secren and then click on 928 Leather Shop. He did a leather center console lid cover for one of the guys on the 996 Forum. SInce he is in the "business" he may be able to get some of the OEM leather.
Kevin's comment about contacting a Porsche salvage yard is also a good option.

Here's a picture of the scratch on the glove lid
Did try salvage, but mine's RHD, so the US market which typically has the most salvage porsches is out for me. I think I did try porschapart in the UK but they don't have the glove lid at the moment. Any brits here know other good salvage in the UK?
As for the rear seats, someone on ebay suggested that his cabrio seats could possibly fit a coupe, so I bought it without much verification except looking at the 997 parts catalog for comparison. But as it turned out, I was informed that the latches are different.
Anyone can confirm this? The guy's not willing to take the seats back. I did however find a set of coupe rear seats in the US, but they cost USD1.5k, and I'm not sure if I want to shell out so much for a set of used ones.
Will give the 928 leather shop a try.
thanks for the replies,
