If you did, what did you use?

I've tried aerosol paint (on a spare one!) and it looks a little patchy, probably wont notice when fitted but I will know !

Maybe easier to recover Tom?
Benjy is doing one soon using some Black suede type material.

You can buy Dylon dye in most shops like john lewis and the like, perhaps your local dry cleaners. My mum uses it occasionally on clothes and have used it on a few seat covers and the like in the past. Its a stick it in the washing machine job. and isn't half bad either, Never tried using it on an e30 because I haven't got one yet. :cry:
