Front seats back side scratched... what to do???

What a pain in the ***... had to drop off a female friend at the airport with her "Huge" luggage in the back seat of my cabriolet, and totally scratched the plastic back cover part of the front seats.

So... Do I paint them or does Porsche sell replacements for the back cover?

Thanks

Jeff

you now have a perfectly good excuse to paint the seatback to match the exterior color.

Except if it is black or a dark color, it will be even more susceptible to showing scratches, finger prints, etc.

You can paint it or order the volcano colored seat back .

I am sure that Porsche sells new ones, but I would get them painted.
