Thanks for the information. You mention a silver trim ring not chrome correct?

 

Urban Cream you can get linked above for the fronts, the rears have been discontinued for the R56. But the Dark gray ones are available. For the R55 Clubman the rear urban cream are also available.

 

Yep base ring is silver.

 

I'm not speaking from experience. I'm reacting to what they advertise on their site. All images they show on their site (http://www.leatherique.com) has a satin look or a shine to it. None of them really have the natural leather look.

Any leather over time will start to get a shine from being polished by clothes. With that Volvo product I use it restores the original look, at least for a time.

I'm not opposed to try Leatherique by any means . I just have doubts from looking at their site.

 

This is also on the list, but I do have other projects outside my car that also need money!

 

You are welcome. The wood interior is very classy.

 

It may not be the best representation but take a look at my Garage, TG.. Those photos are after application of the Leatherique product. It leave a matte finish. Believe me, it it didn't, I wouldn't be using it. I hate shiny leather. Perhaps the person responsible for the interior shots on the Leatherique site thought that if the leather doesn't read as shiny, it doesn't look nourished.

 

I have used the MINI factory leather conditioner and cleaner , it worked fine. The CG leather conditioner works good also, not greasy. CG has a english leather smell also. The MINI stuff smells like the leather conditioner/ cleaner you get from a leather company. Not really a leather smell.

Thanks

 

I have been using Zymol's leather product, "Treat," since I got my first BMW, an E34 in 1990 and really like it for both cleaning and treatment. I just gave my new Tuscan Beige seats a treatment and will do it again in a few weeks so they g
et well fed. It also cleans a remarkable amount of stuff off the steering wheel.

 

Had a E34 1991 used to be a fan of lexol then went to CG and never went back.

 

Looks really good.

 

resurrection from 2015 ....... and from your own post??????

 

I love seeing all of your pics of the interior mods. I have been compiling a wish list from a few Mini sites (like ECS and another site) and it will take me years to afford the things I'd like to do. :D But that isn't to say I am not perfectly happy with what I have now. I am ticked every time I see my car from the outside, and then tickled again when I open the door...I do love the look of the wood... it would probably go well with my interior as well. So that is getting added to my list. LOL!
