Default 1997 XJ6 VDP Leather Repair or Replacement

At some point during my cars past 13 years someone thought it would be a good idea to redye the two front seats. The drivers seat looks pretty good, but the passenger seat looks horrible. The redying has cracked & is peeling, so I want to replace or repair the seat bottoms. Does anyone know a good upholsterer that could work on them? Or have a good source for replacement seats? I am currently checking around on www.car-parts.com for used seats. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. The interior trim code is NDR.

Sorry Tomalonic, can't help on that one, but have you thought of asking dave the detailer his opinion?
Either he may be able to do it depending on distance, or may be able to recommend someone to bring it back to life.

I've seen countless threads where the interior has been shot, only to be brought back to life by some miracel worker somewhere.....just a thought

Default Found Replacement Seats

I found a pair of perfect VDP seats in salvage yard to replace my badly redyed ones. $350 for the pair....not bad at all.

i know it might be a little late, but there was a guy on ebay that sells the dye for all jaguar color codes, its like 50 bucks shipped. He says its enough to do a enitre seat in the exact color match
