Does anyone have a picture of the back of the front seat? Should this be seen? I do not think...

3.0S would be either -3- or -5- in your diagram

Looks like they blended some options. Pretty sure you can just pick the one you like most? I've used them before and they're good about talking through what you need. Since headrests are pretty fixed, I imagine maybe your seats were originally #2 and they ordered different seat backs (horseshoe) when they did them..
 
The way yours are upholstered now, they look like #4 to me...no horseshoe bottom or backrest. The difference being that yours has tucks in the backrest and #4 doesn't.

My July of 71 production 72 MY Bavaria 3.0 came to me with the original upholstery so it was easy to duplicate. #3...horseshoe bottoms, no horseshoe backrest. Their #3 shows tucks in the backrest, but mine arrived without tucks just like my originals. I assume the tucks can be put in at the time of installation if desired. I had mine installed without the tucks to match the originals.

I believe we do need Christoph to help determine the style yours came with originally. I think I have his email addy. PM me if you need it.

I'm not sure what part of the seat back you wanted a picture of. Here's mine. Let me know if you need something different.

World has the embossing equipment to duplicate the unique embossing. I would think it would be the same for the 73 MY. The seats will then match the door panels if you are able to reuse them. If not, World will sell the embossed material by the meter.

Thank you @Dick Steinkamp !!!
I did the door panels with a similar vinyl pattern, so I'll use the same vinyl on the seats...
Can you send me more photos: front headrest, rear headrest, rear seat with armrest open…etc.

I need a photo of the lower back of the chair.

Thank you..
 
changing the direction but not the content, I received my order of vinyl from WU. Also ordered and received door panels, which were pricey. they say this is their Bavaria stamped door panels. Don't fit the 2002 so maybe for CS. They seem very confused. Will refund $ They apparently can not make Bavaria door panels.
I have plenty vinyl, both plain and waffle, but no "lines".
not sure what my options are.

The front of the Panels are made up of three sections: waffle material, the smooth vinyl, and the lined part. I can’t 61 inch lines on the front door panel. WU apparently has a press that heats these three sections together to form one. WU does not make just the lined part. So I have two of the three sections.
I’m aware that Alvaro makes the cardboard fracking, I do not need that. Is he telling me? Álvaro, do you also make the vinyl side as well?
 
I swear, even after I write it and read it gets changed!!
It should read “I count 6 ,1 inch lines.”
 
Could you just stitch the lines? Unless you had it right next to a heat pressed line no one would know the difference.
