Odd seat UPDATED

disgraceful scenes on the carpet front :lol: Great Turbo btw! Thanks for posting, looks completely passable in black :thumb:
 
Just an update, a local company has quoted me £300 to computer colour match the seat and steering wheel center. On balance although I thought expensive its still cheaper and less hassle that finding and buying a suitable replacement interior.
 
I've bought this set to replace my front seats. Looking to sell the rest of it matches yours?

dude seriously spend £50 with gliptone and an hour with a new mirco sponge like you get with a scrubber for the dishes and you are sway.

you will have that done in no time. you just keep dabbing it on, let it dry and go again. might be worth having a hair dryer nearby as its a bit chilly outside at moment.

there is a video on the Gliptone site via you tube showing you how to do it. make sure you clean the leather first with leather cleaner and then get cracking. I was amazed at how well it worked and the colour match.

the steering wheel cover pops out and the seat is easy to do and you can always tape off areas you are worried about catching different colour areas.

or its 4 bolt and the seats are out.

honestly that Gliptone graphite grey will be the same as yours. if there is a slight difference you can always do the other areas nearby to match as you will have loads left from buying a 1 litre pot.
 
:yeah:

Must be, the stitching on the bolsters is not OE style. Looks good.
 
Good job!
I found the leather kind of sticks to you after recolouring it, when I did enough coats of colour I did a few coats with gliptone leather conditioner gt11 which worked and smelled good too
