you're brave to get a cracking result out of a bottle, stunning result doubly brave as you had a light interior to start with, my wife's for instance thinks beauty and a total transformation can also be found in a bottle, you've succeeded and guess what she's done

Black to red can be done but it takes more coats and more patience

For a DIY your work looks outstanding mate
To be honest Reece for the time it takes and time the car is off the road it works out cheaper and more cost effective to go buy a trim, the dye kit cost £111 and it's been off the road for almost a week now and it's nowhere near done,

Im still waiting for the seats to fully cure but they are ok go handle so I placed what I had done in the car......
I liked it but not that much to carry on for another week or so,thinking with my head this time When the red novelty has wore off I'd want to do something else so I've decided to scrap the idea and go with my other plan
Here is the only pics as it's all back out now on E bay

Ha was going to do it saddle brown or ox blood, coral is too light for me
Gaza was thinking about your trim and with the sliding armrest it's a bargain at £350
I've gone for an M3 trim

Finally got the seats cleaned and fitted
I'm quite impressed with the comfort of them, I'd dyed the split armrest red so spent most of yesterday trying to match the the colour of the armrest it's not 100% it's around 95% same but I'm happy I'm also finishing the coral red trim tomorrow and if I don't get any interest on it will store it and maybe put it in at a later date, all the rear seats are cured now and give them a but of leather treatment and they do look good
And have a nice leather feel to them
Pleased all round, anyway here's a few pics

How would you compare the M3 seats to the standard sport seats?
Is anything else adjustable on the M3 seats other than side bolsters?

They are softer but yet more more supportive and more comfy.Having the extra lumber support is great. Did i mention the leather is very nice, soft sikly smooth leather!

Probably, if you aren't wearing trousers.

Looks great and I appreciate all the hard work you've put into this... although I think you nailed it when it was cream/black - CR is everywhere and I'm beginning to find it a bit boring having lived with it for a year and blacks, well, just a bit boring... but I do like the look of those M3 seats!

Good work
