As you can see the leathers still looking sorry for it self, if i get them refurbed would i be able to have black leather all around the sides and top and the little bottom peace in like a camo material and red stitching ?
Or would it have to be leather all round?

I'd say that wheel is beyond the limits of what a cream or product will cure. A wheel re-trim is upwards of £100 depending on who does it. They have to be hand sewn, which is time consuming, which costs money! I personally charge £130 for a mk4 wheel.
