Best route would be to find a fresh donor car at a junk yard and buy everything out of it. For seats you can use pretty much anything from an A4 from 97-01 or Passat from 97-02. If you're literally swapping in the entire interior, you'll wanna stick with B5 A4's from 97-99, unless you want to do the facelift double-din swap. That involves not only the trim pieces but the radio and much of the center console.

ive yet to buy the bent. manual (should have been my first purchase) will that have all the instructions for tare down?

or is there any type of dye/ paint i could get to color the interior or is the donor car my best bet?

No interior tear down manuals that I know of, but I don't have a Bentley. Once you get in there it will be pretty self explanatory. The interior pieces are all either held on by clips that you can just pop off or screws. You can dye the interior, that's definitely an option. Send a PM to member ImTheDevil, he did a custom two-tone dye job in his car that came out really really well.

ive sent many a pm to imthedevil with no response understandably i can imagine his inbox being in the 500 range haha. i think im guna dye it and the carpeting as well, i just hope i can find a durable dye brand.
