Why not get a black set and dye the leather cream/grey?

Much easier than either retrimming your current seats or waiting for ages for the right set to come up.

Only Mk3's go his way as the English Channel is quite wide!

I have a set of 3 door grey lether door cards,they are free,just pick them up and get them out my garage!They are taking up much needed space.
Need to be gone in a week or they are going in the bin  :evil:

I woud love them! but posting them would be a f**king ball ache! When Alex (LL) tried to send me some they wanted £80!!! :sad:

I've sent bigger and heavy items for much less money, get a quote from Interparcel for might be pleasantly surprised.

The leather dyes only work if you are going from a light colour to a dark colour

Awesome. I need some dye to sort some worn leather in my car, and that looks just the ticket!
