The front seats in the crx i bought were in need of a fair bit of tlc,the seams had come apart in a few places,one massive rip and the colour had gone on the bolsters and several places in the centres.I had booked a restorer to refurb them,when a friend who works in a furniture shop told me to give it a go myself.So he got me some specialist glue for binding the leather and recommended buying leather recolourant and restorer that he'd used in the past.

So,all in i've spent

Well, that's most passable.

I think you've got the right approach; if you over-do it, it'll look over-restored & show up the rest of the vehicle.

Best to do it in easy stages.

hot air gun on the leather and a smoothing mothion may improve the look of the creases. be careful not to burn the leather though

I got the glue from a friend but it came in an unmarked syringe type thing,i'll ask him what it is next time i see him.

The recolouring balm and stuff came from here......

You can fill the creases in with some paste, a year ago there was a leather restore kit that was on a GB and it had fillter paste, it worked quiet well .

I believe Petzoldt's sell the leather repair kits.


(Yes, I know it's all in Gerry)


Yes, they do.
