My 325sport has suffered the usual driver seat problem!

The leatherseat has started to crack in areas and the colour seems to be fading!

What is the best course of action? What leather protectors, dye or polish would you recommend? I would like to put some life in the leathers but want to keep it original (so no retrimming)

Thanks for your input guys!

Hi i sell a prouduct it puts the colour back as it is a black hide food.
Its the best thing for the seats as it feeds the leather and also restores the colour.
I use it on my car
Its £9.95 plus p&p
