Looks great.

I did the same on my bentley some years back but with this colour you need to steer clear of denim jeans as the dye rubs off... 2009 Vogue TDV8 Nara Bronze
2002 Vogue V8 Zambezi Silver

the dealer did this to my td6 before i brought it but with subsequent rubbing with leather polish the dye started to come off, so be careful not to rub to hard as i did [queue the puns ] ... - .- -.

2008 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 Atacama Sand

I thought I'd check in to see how the colour was wearing.

I bought a 08MY TDV8 recently and when I gave the parchment coloured seats a clean I noticed the colour is getting thin (dark base under colour starting to show a bit) in places.

So I need to do something about returning the colour to the seat.

I used one of these kits on my Cayenne before I px/ed it for the RR. I had a cigarette burn on the passenger seat from a previous owner, which I never got around to sorting until the final week of ownership. Using this kit, I was able to fill in the hole and stain it. It was truly an invisible repair. Took a few hours, but well worth it. Best thing I have ever bought from eBay.

I spoke with the guys @Furnitureclinic. It seems that since my car has the semi-analine leather the repair process that they supply won't work, as it's coated to stop it absorbing the fluid that they use to recolour the seat? Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Its wearing pretty well. Will try and upload some pictures.

I still haven't got around to doing the passenger seat. maybe that's a job for the xmas break. On the whole I`m still really pleased with the results.

Shames it can`t be used on the later model L322's. I thought it would apply to all leather seats but sounds like that's not the case.

They tell me that the semi-analyne needs to use their leather colouring kit but should work.

Can you tell me what finish you used on your seats? They offer a range going from shiny to matt and everything in between.

I'm thinking semi-matt? Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Bagus - I have exactly the same issue.
Can i ask, did you use any of the sealants for the cracking, and did you use a high grit paper on the leather?
Also, How long did they look good for?
Many thanks
