Rikki 2 Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Thought i'd start a new thread for this.bought these seats from a fellow member. also bought a repaired drivers seat rear cover as it was pretty bad as with all CC recaros. Got the medium recolouring kit from http://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/Leather_Colourant_Kit.htm which was around £70 with the colour match, which is a touch too light as i took the sample from underneath the seat grrr....lesson learned, so im probably gonna do the rear seat to match as there is plenty left over. The kit was very complete and to my surprise very good quality!!! Got rid of loads of cracks, mainly the ones on the drivers lower base bolster which wasnt replaced, just rubbed down and reconnolised.......In the last picture you can see the slight difference in the colour!!!!! :@ Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Very nice result getting rid of the cracks and getting it to have an even finish. Does it look and feel the same close up first hand? I'm going to see if they can colour match mine, how did you go about getting a match? Link to post Share on other sites
