Looks like good stuff, not sure about the colour change, but to clean and treat tired leather, it looks OK :thumbsup:
There are quite a few members who have changed their cars and done plenty of mods to them, I'm sure you will glean lots of tips from them and the forum.
Again, get plenty of photos on.

Black grills look good on that :thumbsup:

Is that a shortened number plate? These early E85 fronts with the 'shark mouth' look great, better than facelift but the short plate makes it a bit 'Hitlerish'? maybe it's just that it's blacked out, just IMHO a short plate does'nt go with a 'long mouth grill' underneath. Car looks a very clean example.

Just a thought, I'm no styling guru..
