pm me tel number and i'll talk you through the process and what you items you need to do the job. Would be good to practice on a pair of headrests first. Bit of patience and it does come up like new again.
They have a premix so it is excellent colour match. Although you will then find out how much your interior has drifted away from the original Lotus White 226 colour over the years. Lotus white was used on many other motors 5,6,7 series too so they have got it spot on.

Lookin as good as ever Adam :cool:
Just about to head down to Woods to pick up my short shift bits btw; wish me luck! :D



Andy, that stuff looks great!

My leather looks like this http://img345.imageshack.us/img345/3868/dsc10150ue.jpg :?
Yep, it's really going green (should be cream)! There's a split in the rear bench, & the drivers bolster needs a hole sorting... Any ideas on what I need to get / what I do with it / how well it'll work? Was going to get some dye from gliptone, but this sounds better!
:cheers:

Adam,

First, the cab is sweet, and if she ever wants to sell it (in the next 2/3 months) let me know cos I would take it straight off your hands now!!Unlikely though I guess!!

Also, what is the exhaust on that car, it looks perfect with the bodykit. What does it sound like?

Thanks

They sell a prepping agent which softens and opens the pores of the leather - needed
240 grit automotive paper to take off the surfaces dried/cracked leather
colour matched dye but they have premix for most BMW colours
flexible leather filler which expands/contracts at the same rate as leather some should't crack again when repaired.
I applied the dye with a fine paint brush but they supply spraying tools, personally not experienced enough with spraying.
Sound all a bit difficult, pm me a tel number and i'll give u a call.
