bentert 0 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Right, a few questions regarding my fat thirsty b!tch. Firstly what can I use to feed the leather, my father in law, has a black leather feader but my seats are purple, and want them to shine, what can I use to make them like new again?Secondly, whats the paint code, as I have noticed a bit of rust coming through on the rear arch, and want to treat them. Thirdly, I have picked up a highline front badge, YEAH well happy. £20 what a bargain. Anyhow is this going to fit my debadge grill? Or will I have to get another grill?Fourthly what wheels came as standard on these, if its any help mine is a 1996 Highline. Finally, how come my highline doesn't have the plastic arch trims that mk3 GTi's have, I only just noticed today?Cheers Tony. Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote']leather:I use Lane's liquid leather.Use a leather cleaner before you apply any protectorYour type of leather is 'coated' leather and it is the top coating that needs looking after. Dirt on the surface will become ground into the finish if you're not careful.Paint code is LC9ZYou will have to get another grill15" BBS Solitudes came with the Highline Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Glyptoms cleaner and conditioner are very good and the conditioner makes the leather smell like fresh new factory leather. Link to post Share on other sites
