Thanks Hammy. For sure CAT D is ideal for the likes of us. Knocked £500 off the price because of those four letters!


The interior looked very dated with the seats and side panels having this rather fetching speckled design


Bought a leather recolouring kit from Furniture Clinic. It involved scrubbing the seats till the surface colour starts coming off it with the specialist cleaner, rubbing the new colour into the joints and crevices, followed by praying on the colour till there is sufficient coverage. Then the front surfaces gets a sealer. By this point the whole seat looks very shiny so then a Matt lacquer goes on this to tone it down and give it a factory finish. Turned out really nice - got a few wee dust flecks in places but overall looks excellent!





Didnt have enough stuff for the doorcards so they got some Halfords Vinyl paint followed by Plasticote matt lacquer. Turned out well enough too!
