I used Gliptone recolouring kit for mine. Really impressed with the results, and I'm fussy. £50 well spent. Covers all the ingrained dirt that simple would not clean off. Won't cover cracks and rips though.
Mine was also cream interior. Linen is the colour name. Check the back of the fabric as you may find that like my S2, it's vinyl, not leather.

Hi thanks for the reply.
I have seen a couple of kits on you tube,
they have a sort of flexible filler that you push into the scuffs,
let it set and then re-colour over the filler.
Bit wary of trying one and knackering a seat without any sort of recommendation

I can't recommend a kit, but I've just ordered a kit by Dynamix that looks like it will do the job. It doesn't come with any crack filler, but it does have a small spray gun to give a more uniform covering.
If it works out well (it hasn't yet arrived), I'll post some before and after photos.
Just had the Boxster redone by Brooklands Kent. The difference is night & day! I remember Wheeler Dealers or similar using someone in Birmingham to reconnolise some car seats, you just need to ask around. There is a guy on E Bay who sells the dyes & stuff & I believe may offer a service.

I bought a kit from Dynamix and also purchased their flexible filler. The filler worked well - some of the cracks on my bolster were almost through the leather but you can only see the repair site if you look closely where I wasn't brave enough to sand it completely flush for fear of damaging the surrounding leather. Similarly for the dye kit, I bought the medium size and did both front seat faces using a sponge (didn't want to remove the seats from the car or mask off large areas of the interior) and most casual onlookers don't notice unless I point out that the faces have a very slightly different appearance from the rest of the seat (since the dye dries to a more matt finish). It may have helped that the seats are a dark blue, and I doubt it would impress any concours judges or professionals who retrim or repair car interiors, but it makes me much happier every time I get in the car that I no longer have to look at the damaged bolster.
