Hi Martyn,
I assume you are talking about the alcantara trim for the later cars (i.e. Gran Finale etc.)?
This material isn't available anymore.
The best you can hope for is someone selling spare seats and then using any of the good material for repairing yours. Door cards are useful for this as well.
The photo below shows the alcantara style door cards, but I have fitted the slightly earlier seats from a special edition which are a lot harder wearing and roughly match up with the original alcantara trim.
I do still have the original seats but they are not hard wearing and tend to split and disintegrate easily hence why you can't find them in good condition very often.

Hello Martyn,
I agree with Andy about the alcantara seat fabric as mine have been repaired using material from a set of door cards.
Luckily I found a skilled local trimmer who was able to utilise the blue vinyl and alcantara sections to patch and reinforce the seats.
They do appear on Ebay but the condition of this fragile material means that need to be checked before purchase.
Cheers Chris.
