Guys my front seats are looking a bit worn out in my cab, the cracks are really starting show and i was thinking of getting the kit in the below link:

http://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/Leathe ... nt_Kit.htm

has anyone used it and is it any good?

I don't have big bucks to get it done profesionally as i would like to get the front 2 seats re trimmed in the future.

Can anyone reconmend any other kits avaialable on the market?

thanks in advance!

:cool:

you asked!

"Leather paint/recolonise?"

sorry.... that kit looks pretty good but as with a lot of these things, its all down to the application of it as to how it ends up. If you're not careful you may end up with streaks and a patchy finish.

Do you want to change the colour or just refresh the original colour?

If it turns out sh*t, start saving for the retrim sooner winkeye

a mate of mine had a mk2 jag in which the leather seats were hard and cracked- he used this stuff used for softening and conditioning riding saddles (horse) and they came up really well- wasn't a 5min job tho :D
