Default 1998 XJR perforated seat leather kit available??

Title pretty much says it all. 18 years and almost 235K miles is about done with the factory leather. It's not terrible, just tired looking. I don't feel like having the leather 'painted' to make it look acceptable. I did perform a search and I wasn't able to have any luck. Any suggestions are appreciated.

What colour? I have a full black set out of a low miles R, the centres are perforated. You would need to fit it to your car's seating though, which is fairly involved.

Unfortunately I have the oatmeal color. I understand that you have only the material. Do you have the rear seats along with the 4 headrests? I can handle the install with no issue as I used to do seat upholstery back in my GM days in the 90's for warranty. PM me with a price and I'll see what I can do even though it's not the color I need.

Thanks AL. Yeah, the PO drove a long way to work. I had the car laid up just over a year due to illness and trying to resurrect it at the same time finally paid off when I started driving it a few months ago. I bought it with a hole in the transmission oil cooler tube due to collapsed engine mounts. Fixed that at work and was getting ready to drive home to do head gaskets simply out of age/mileage when it decided to blow simply idling at work. Towed it home instead. So needless to say she was tired. She runs great now!

Really, a good local auto upholstery shop should be able to fix you up at a reasonable cost.
