Furniture Clinic sell the products to deal with this. They have a large range of colours, which you can of course mix to get exactly the colour you need.

They will do it for you: I have seen their work and it is superb, but not cheap.

Alternatively you can buy the products from them, and do it yourself!

Hi

Have a look on eBay, I bought one that came as a kit, My car has Ivory leather and the kit I got worked great

it came with every you need cleaner, dye and sealer, selection of sponges and polishing cloths

find out what color your leather is exactly first, or it will look odd after

mine had a small bit of cracking on the drivers side bolster, where you get in and out, you cant tell now

cheers

Buying the colour as per your car specification is obviously the correct starting point, but the leather colour does change with age, so some further mixing is likely to be needed for a perfect match.

after the first clean i had loads of visible cracks but they did tone done by the next day, i have now cleaned them again and the cracks are barely visible, so not sure whether to put any dye on them now because as you said leather does change slightly with age. so going to leave it for now and see how they look in a few weeks
