Go to the scrappy and rip a nice section of Granada scorpio leather off, looks identical and has the slight weathered look so it won't stand out when fitted. They'll also need a strip of leather to use to make the beading if thats damaged too.

Should cost about 3 hrs labour to replace (mine was 60 quid)

a proper trimmer who can reconolise will sort old leather out, all it involves is spraying it after some prep. if its totally shagged you just replace it.

if you saw the quality of the reconnolising my mate Chester Autotrim does you would never sit on shit cracked and scuffed leather again.

Ok thanks guys the leather is not bad i am just fussy its not torn its just that there are very small patches where the colour has worn off to show the natural colour of the leather. I will try reconnolising first.

Mine has just suffered from 12 years of use and the usual drying out etc. Have you got a number for him please mate, sounds ideal?
