sportline wheel, this wheel is so simple and so simply great to hold onto.

Nice job on the car but man does that leather need some help. I used the Pelle leather conditioning system on mine. You can get it from the likes of Smith City or shops that sell Leather lounge suites etc. It comes as a kit and has leather dye in it with full instructions. The black dye looks dark green, but drys out to a very good match for the black leather. You wont get them pristine but they will look a whole heap better. The leather conditioners also make it look good and protect from further damage.

yeah the flash really brings out the cracks too.

cheers for the advice, i've just been using leather balsam (conditioner) but i think i need something with dye in it so i might go to a furniture place! cheers

A little shoe polish will do the trick as all you want to do is colour the 'inside' of the crack.

Get yourself some of this. First clean the seats, then use the shoe polish sparingly and then use the conditioner to 'feed' the leather.

You can watch the cracks fill themselves.

Its brilliant stuff on old leather, not so good if you (or someone else) has already had a crack at spraying the leather with something.

Looks good from the pictures on the website - can you get in it NZ or do you have to order it online?

I got mine when I was still in the UK, but Im pretty sure they will send overseas.

Ordered from the website. Very prompt delivery from memory. I think for unusual colours (i.e. not black) they recommend removing a small sample of the leather (e.g. from the seam under the seat etc) and send it to them for colour matching purposes.
