I have a Carrera red interior in my car and a couple of places have worn the red off so that I notice it, mainly on the steering wheel around the 1 o’clock position and the handbrake.

Any recommendations for a diy colour restoration? Seems like there are many various kits around but want to make sure any repairs are as close to the original colour as possible

Find the colour code for your upholstery and then speak to Gliptone/liquid leather. They have lots of factory colours already mixed as a kit. If they don’t, you can send off something like a headrest (do it recorderded just in case it goes AWOL) and they’ll custom mix some colourant to the sample.
I had good results with the lemon leather in my car.
