Pretty much!
You'll still be able to see the cracks but they will be black rather than natural leather colour.
Only you would know they're there!

I already had them but i used Autoglym leather cleaner, agitated with a clean paint brush then wiped down with a clean microfibre.
Then i used Autoglym Leather Care Balm and left to work its magic for about 20 mins then buffed it off with another clean microfibre. Did the leather care balm twice.
I want to get some leather dye on mine as i have small cracks.
If i were you id clean them, then dye them a couple of times, then use the leather care balm.
The leather cleaner is about £7 same for leather care balm and dye is about £10
So £25

theyre soo nice but im just worried about that bolster bein a bit too worn lol. hmmmmm do i take the plunge?
Mine weren't as bad as that but those seats you posted are pretty dirty. Don't look like they've ever been properly cleaned or treated.
I think you should go for it, they will come up well because it's good quality leather.

Those seats you posted are pretty dirty, I think with a good wet vac on the suede, some leather cleaner and get some leather balm on it they'll come up well.

I'd do it if I were you! And if you don't like them you could always try sell them on.

True. i was thinking that if i dont like them id sell them on but how sought after are they lol thats the problem.
Woops tapatalk said it didnt send the first post in response to you! Flippin' thing!
Well if you dont want they then maybe somebody else will? If you tart them up then there may be somebody on here that would like them?

On another note, my car keeps wheel spinning! I didn't think it was powerful enough to spin a tumble dryer never mind spin the wheels!
I think it's these proxes, i'd heard they're crap in the wet/grease but they'd never played up until this last week! Feel like a right knob, any kind of real acceleration and they're spinning!

toyo tr1s? I've got them on my fr and it only spins under hard acceleration in the wet. My 1.4 used to be very hard to get it to wheel spin lol (not that i tried all the time lol)
I know someone personally who fitted T1Rs and thought they were absolute garbage, but everyone online seems to rate them 
Get shot of them, my 1.2 is great on RainSport 2s can only make it spin the wheels if I'm actually trying, which is great. I'd be worried if I could spin the wheels without trying! Had Bridgestone Turanzas before them and the RS2s are miles better, I'll be purchasing them again.

Yeah they never used to spin, only this week! Think its because of the greasy road conditions. I've had them on since april and I always thought they were pretty grippy in dry and not bad in wet. I'll probably be changing them for something that actually works next time haha
It's not even as if they're bald I've got like 6mm on them!

I really like mine tbh, dry grip is the best i've came across and wet is pretty good as well. Still going to try and different brand next time as they're not the quietest
Yeah i really like mine too, it's just surprised me that they've spun recently! Just goes to show summer tyres are no good in winter haha.
I dont drive quickly anyway so it's no biggie, just makes me look a bit of a douche when they do accidentally spin.
