 Hey -
 
 My Disco's front driver seat is looking a bit rough.  I have one split and some deep creases.  Wondering if anyone one has dealt with this yet?
 
 I've been keeping my eye out for a wreck with some good leather - no luck.  I'm sure I could order the seat cover from the dealer, but I'm not sure I want to give up my first born to do that....  I'm sceptical that a uhpolstery shop could do a good job matching the bad panel.
 
 People seem to rave about leatherique and their repair products, does anyone have any experience with them?
 
 Thanks for any suggestions.
 
 Scott

 Hi Scott,
 
 I personally don't have experience, but the link is a thread from a BMW message board that I frequent.  On that board, Leatherique is the way to go.  I think you will find the write up at the link very enlightening about what is required to do a good job with their product.  My other car is an 83 533i and I've been needing to do the Leatherique thing for a long time, and they're the company I'm going to go with.  Anyway, read the write-up on this link, including all the follow-ups to help answer your questions.

 Good luck,

 the bottom seat cushion replacement leather is $340 from the dealer, already looked into that route...
