Front Seats Need Recolouring On My 1999 740I. Any Ideas!!

[Guest Mister Dabsy]

Really depends on how bad the leather is... Get some pics of the worst areas on the seat(s) ;)

[mjk1948]

Thanks Jack, I'll put some on tomorrow, (to dark Now) Mike. :wacko:

See Ed China on wheeler dealers, he always finds cheap replacement seats, good luck, hope you get your car seats recoloured. :D

[Guest Mister Dabsy]

Yes Alan, Ed fixes everything, even a petrol sofa ;) :P :D

Hiya Alan, I was thinking more in the line of getting the Painted, (like Ed Did on that Blue Bently!) Please see the 2 pics below & see if you have any ideas! Cheers Mike. :unsure:

[Guest Mister Dabsy]

TBH Michael, they're not bad !!

Have you tried "feeding" the leather?

A dye would look obvious and could differ from rest of trim, making it look abit "false" IMHO...

I would just treat the leather as it is matey ;)

I know you have your heart set on perfect and recolouring but 50% of this is maybe clothes dye and dirt.

I have added a link for an excellent product that is great at removing this.

I reckon, you could make these 50% better for less than £10

Cheers Gav, I'll give it a try!! But its mainly the markes on the drivers side seat, caused by the seatbelt! (see 3rd pic) Mike.

[BigAl]

Nice looking car, I would try Gav's idea first. :D

[andy-mcq]

Do gavs tip first

Then if not perfect could always look up a "smart" repairer

[mjk1948]

Cheers Andy, but I think the seat belt marks on the drivers seat need some sort of colouring!! (any ideas?) Mike.

Hi Mike, Here is a restorer, a member from the Jaguar Owners Club, used them for a repair and said that you could not even notice the tear after they had worked on his car

http://lhcupholstery.com/ good luck, cannot hurt to give them a ring. Alan :D

[mjk1948]

Thanks a lot Alan, Iv'e sent them an Email with a couple of pics explaining the problem, & should here from them tomorrow.

Cheers buddy, Mike.

[BigAl]

Good luck Mike, hope they can do it for a reasonable price, keep us updated. Alan :D

[mjk1948]

Hiya Alan, they gave me a bell this morning, & are going to do the 2 front seats "To My Satisfaction" (AS NEW) On Tuesday Morning at my home for £150 Cash! Very Tidy when they have about a 40 mile round trip!

Will send you pics when the job is done.

Thanks again for your help. Cheers Buddy Mike.

[Guest Mister Dabsy]

Another crime solved !

[BigAl]

Hi Mike, Look forward to seeing the pics, I know the Jag owner was really pleased with their work, glad I could help. Alan :D
