Had the V8 Vantage for about 2 weeks now, love it. Waited a bit before I took the fuse out but it had to go this weekend.

Only 1 disappointment, a passenger who will remain nameless, scuffed the passenger dash getting into the car. The leather is really soft and I am reluctant to make it worse, anyone got any tips on removing it/reducing it?

how bad is it?

if its just a light scuff, then some Liquid leather conditioner may revive it.

It its a bit worse then get a scuffmaster kit from here (and Liquid Leather too) :

Thanks, its right in the middle of the large dash area above the glove box so I worried that any product will leave a different colour in a very obvious area, would this stuff do that?

no - the colour match is excellent...I managed to sort out some scuffs on the seats of my old RS6 which were dark grey leather, so that you couldnt tell

This is right where you are going to see it. I'm 100% certain that the right person could make that vanish, but I would be as nervous as about trying to fix it myself. The man could easily be right about the liquid leather, on the other hand I would be asking people like AM's restoration operation at Newport Pagnell and anybody else I could get a hold of.
