Unhappy Looking for a DIY on doing a s4 seude seat look

I've been searching for atleast 5 hours now and I can't find a/any good DIY for doing a Seude insert on a seat to make the seats look like the blue seude seats for the s4. Just wondering because I'm about to get rid of my a4 for a 2001.5 s4 6 speed with the black sport leather seats and have alot of plans to do. One of them is to do the nogaro blue look all around including the door cards. Any link to a DIY for the seats or any information will be really helpful. Thank you in advance.

You'd have to destitch the seat centers and sew in suede panels.

Thanks man. Yeah should be pretty easy to write up. I have in-process pics as well with the masking in place. You mentioned blue and black - here's a set of 350Z seats I did.

Blue on black looks really good, especially in a car like this Z which was blue and, as it turned out, the dye matched almost exactly to the paint. I think the blue/black combo would only work on a blue, black, or maybe silver car though.

People with alcantra s4 interior also look to trade for pure black more often than not it seems. Or stitch them in, why mess up a perfectly fine set of seats to match something Audi did from the factory and not look as good. Keep your eyes out for a noggy interior. They come up

I have been looking for trades like that but they aren't the nogaro blue seats for trade normally grey and white ones. I'm going for nogaro blue.
