I used a baby wipe to clean any excess that had made it onto the leather but i didn't have very much, If you wipe the leather 1st then...

    Seat stitching.

    Correct just did it myself, took a bit of time but the results were excellent. Tried it on a wee section that u can’t see first and carried on from there.

    Seat stitching.

    After having my steering wheel redone a while back with red stitching it bugged me the seats were different. So decided to change it, not completely gone with red left 1 row standard quite like the contrast between it now.

    197: Fancying new wheels what do use think?

    @sevenfourate the 1st ones you put on are smart. the problem I have is mine are diamond cut and they don't like winter but I have a matching pair for the front with winter tyres. I will go into the wheel specialist in inverness to see if they can powder coat my current wheels to give a similar...

    Campaign To Stop The Sale Of Black Renault Diamonds (POLL ADDED)

    No chance "nutnutwelshman" she has silver all over that neckless and she told me last night!:think: :silverdiamond:

    Would you have one?

    Im sure that silver one was a phase 1 and the lad who has the chippy at the end of the high street owned it. I think from memory they did sort the handling on the phase 2. It would def be a dream garage job like so many of use have said it was just a mental idea that will never be repeated. So Sad.
