Leather reconolising

[M5pilot]

My leather is cracked and its very liggt grey aswell.

Only front seats need doing, how good a job can be done? Can they be made to look near enough new?

Any idea on cost?

i think it depends if its cracked right through if that makes sence.

if its just cracked a bit then it can be bear enough fully recovered (as was done on mates m5)

. from what i remember leather needs to be treated at least once a year otherwise the mositore in the leather is lost.

shure others will give better advice.

note - did u sell the reshelled c2.7 in the end?

Just near completing my full Lotus White interior which was badly cracked in places. Unfortunately no real before pics but you obviously know what they end up like. I'll get some pics of a refurb i have done myself using leathermagic products i used for the reconnolising and repairs. There was also 2 tears and 2 cracks that were almost a tear which have been repaired as part of the process.
No 'This thread is w.................etc.' I'll get the pics as soon as i can so you can see for yourself that they look excellent and like new for very little money, just effort. Should get them over the weekend as the car's in my garage so i'll have to rearrange a few bits for a decent photo, plus my Sister has the digi camera until Saturday. Be patient it's well worth it.
BTW leather needs constantly feeding with care creme to keep it supple and stop any cracks once you've done the job, prob the reason why it's cracked in the first place.

Thanks for that,

Look forward to seeing the pictures.

I got my leeather like this and have been since feeding it quite some bit. The back seats are like brand new and have really started to look even better with the feeding.

Just got to get those fronts sorted now!

What feed do you use.

Autoglym.

I hear its not that great though.

Exactly what i use at the moment, but again i heared it's not the best so was looking for a more specialist care creme or something to preserve my efforts. Getting the pics done at the weekend.
Cheers,
