opinions on what to do with my leather seats??

[nightyard]

Hi,
my seats are worn and the bolster has worn so much theres a tiny hole....
I'm thinking I'll respray them....

I've got a few ideas and want people's input or if anyones interior is like one of the poll options please post a photo for me to look at!


the doors and center console etc are the champagne color plastic.... I'm going to remove all the plastics and jet wash them when I change the speakers.
carpets are also the champagne color.

personally I like the idea of the lighter cream colour but I'm unsure if it would look right with the champagne carpets and plastics... I could easily and cheaply swap to the black plastics though

Just looked on the vin checker and it says the original colour is "LEDER OREGON / BEIGE (LAAB)"

I'm just going to order some scuff master and see how it turns out....

In the list of leather colours on the site it says BMW Z4, 2005, V/L/Beige LAAB
and BMW Z4. 2007. "Champagne"

my production date on the car is 09/12/06
I presume I need to order the Beige one?
seems obvious enough but thought I better ask!

I'm no leather repair expert, so I'd take it to a pro. Costly, but it'll be done properly and should last.

Good luck with the repair!

When I picture a repair like this I imagine the seats out and foam being changed, with new leather. All a bit scary for me - totally lack the knowledge!

Is scuff master just a liquid you apply? How does it fill a hole?

I've just bought some megs leather care for mine. Haven't tested it yet, so unsure of what sort of result to expect.

Get some before and after pics of your work

It wont fill a hole but its so small.... I'll get something that will fill it though...
