I picked up my new interior today from the brown mk3 that was on the bay a wee while ago that was found in a garage with only 700 odd miles on it, the seats were still all in plastic but I noticed some fading on the drivers seat edge on the back cusion and i'm wondering if there is anything out there to re colour the tan seats maybe a spray or similar it seems a shame as the seats themselvers are perfect the rears have never even been sat in but the rest of the car was in a really bad state big holes all over the o/s but it is going to be stripped and what's left crushed I think he will still have the back axel as the new owner only wants the engine and box

Elouse might benifit from the back axel for the Ital he is re shelling at the moment.
I would imagine that there would be some sort of fabric dye for your seats Stu

I remember someone (possibly Jim) saying there is spray you can get and they will even colour match it for you as I was saying something about faded door cards....

iirc the spray is only for vinyl. - think frost supplies it
used it some 20 years ago on a IH pick up - lasted while i had the car .
