You could try some Gliptone leather conditioner

Or you could upgrade  :cool:

Was that brand new Patch?  Good deal if it was  :smiley:

I paid £190 just over 2 years ago from a German seller on Ebay

i like the r32 wheel but not its the little r badge that i dont like

that said i wouldn't bother changing it if its only a little bit worn but thats just me. but any old leather treatment should do the job, i might use some of the ones for the sofa thinking about it
