Nothing a leather re-dye cant help :) Puts the colour back into the leather. Once its been re-dyed, just protect it by using a good conditioner :) Its not knackered so don't worry.

If your interested in a re-trim info, message Andy665 as he had his E36 re-trimmed and the results speak for themselves.

Andy665 is your man...but I agree with DazH too

Again, have a chat with Andy and he will explain a lot. You don't need new door cards as the company you chose to re-trim will do EVERYTHING you tell them to do.

You CAN re-dye the leather yourself. My Mum's dog got Flea treatment last month and little did she know that you can't let the animal go near leather sofas until its completely dry. It came off of the dog and landed on the soda and BURNED the surface of the leather and basically ruined a £2k sofa. I went onto ebay, got a leather dying kit and it worked a treat. all I needed was a hair-dryer :P same theory applies to you but on a larger scale.

Good luck buddy and don't forget to contact Andy on here,
