Oh yes! Decided if I keep it past the summer I'll get front leathers replaced or re-dyed (both are sun bleached but not worn) and a respray in winter. It will be mint then!!

Hood works fine.

Not decided nik, hopefully keep it and restore it to enjoy occasionally. I reckon prices have bottomed out too so hopefully see back what I put into it if I keep it long enough.

Seen a few guys on corrado dye their leathers, from black to bright red or another guy redid his in cream.

Doesn't seem too hard to do yourself, bit of sand paper, the dye and the sealant

Lots of people do it on e36coupe.

Some guy did it on cutters on his grey vaders and the dye ran.

I personally wouldn't bother. Seems to be one of those things that if your a dab hand will look fantastic. If your a regular chump it will look awful.
