After preparing to spend £600 odd on a new carpet set, I thought I'd give the dye a punt at £30.

Absolutely amazed at how well it's turned out. I sent these guys (https://thescratchdoctor.co.uk/product/liquid-fabric-dye/) a sample of original / unfaded carpet from under the seat, and a week later a bottled of dye turned up.

Really easy to brush on, and just wipes off leather with a wet cloth if you make a mistake!

Took 1 litre of dye (once mixed) and an afternoon to do the whole car.

They look great matey. Cant believe the places the sun can reach - more like crap quality carpets/dye!

I only had a few areas to touch up and got away with a toothbrush and a small dab of shoe polish.
