Good thread this.....

Ive just found a few small cracks on my freelanders seat in the folded over leather (finishes the edge)as its joined to another section with stitching. basically it must have got a little dried out and split slightly at the stitching.

I think it looks like it needs a little filler type product then touching over with a paint.

Any ideas? When i can get the photo uploaded it may help a little.

Cheers

This thread was just what I was looking for! I have had some scuff marks on drivers seat ever since I bought the car and always told myself I would sort it but never got round to it and didnt really fancy paying someone to restore it! Ordered liquid leather on Monday and arrived yesterday. Car needed a serious clean so thought would be the perfect opportunity to use it. Results below...

Thanks Pawn for the initial post :)

Looks imola red to me, but that can only be if it is an M.

If it is not an M, then it is "dream red".

I picked up the kit in Estoril Blue to restore the bolster and headrests. Done one bolster so far and it's well worth the £14. Literally took years off the car and now the interior looks like it has been meticulously cared for as opposed to "well loved".
Couldn't recommend enough and I was well prepared to take the car to get re-upholstered. No need at this stage

Looks like it's gone up again to £16. Can't seem to find Canberra beige though for mine.

Has anybody tried this on a facelift 2006 dream red interior? Is the dream red colour the same as the 2003 colour listed?

Thanks

I ordered Estoril Blue but it was 1999 Estoril Blue. What I would say is that the colour was a little bit bright but it comes with tiny pots of black and white dye which I applied on top and blended it in with the original seat colour.
