Leathers are staying as they are in such good condition and if you see the car in the flesh the black on black looks mean.

I have a geat gaitor here ready to fit too:

Err about £20 I forget, they do a buy both together get a discount which i noticed after i had bought both

Its hard work doing it, i reccomend using a cloth and not an old t-shit/rag as it soaks too much of it up. The cleaner is ok, much like any other cleaner, but the conditioner is what makes it good!

CS: Picture is very flattering, you can hardly see the lbue ones unless its pitch black, plus hard to see rev counter and you have to strain to see them.

Look cool i admit but not that practical....
