Cal Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Ok, took me long enough to make a thread on here... Since I've had it, it's been had 2 'looks' or stages applied to it which I'll post up all the details and bits in posts. Stage 1 - How I bought the car - Below Stage 2 - My personal changes to my taste - Pages 1/2 Stage 3 - 2nd 'look' - Page 3 and onwards - Respray progress Pages 13/14 Stage 1... Here's what the car looked like when I bought it back in 2010! There's lots of different bits I didn't like, so I'll list my mods when I get on to posting 'Stage 2'.

Cal Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 My seats were a right mess... thank you previous owner! Anyway, Gliptone Scuffmaster kit is the dogs... Not perfect, but a LOT better! Pics of the damage/neglect; Leather cleaner, agitate with nailbrush, wipe off, repeat; Scuffmaster colour dye/top coat for repair, wipe on with sponge, dab excess off, repeat. Leather conditioner, wipe on, dry, repeat... pleased with the results and would definitely reccommend it Excess conditioner in the perforations... (white dots) will soak in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
