You have to replace the section of the leather that is ripped.. I have been trying a few places around here to find out for my seats. They reckon dying is a f'kn expensive task as they have to get into all the grooves where the stitching is, and even then the colour may not even look that consistent. Better off just fixing the rip and trying to get that colour matched. or fully replacing the leather if you want to change colour.

Yes, costly, very.
Id look as fixing it up or getting full custom!

It miay sound stupid (never thought of this before) what about hair dye? I dont want it ot be perfect, but I want it to look good. |

IF you are going to play around with dye dont use hair dye, use fabric dye. I reckon it will probably turn out looking crap though - a nice cheap way to ruin your leather.
