I need to get some dye to touch up the seat and trim leather in my 98 xk8, cream seats and brown/beige trim I think? How can I get the correct codes? JJGAED3AH032757 if you can help
Thanks

 

Your seats are dual leather colored? Never seen that before in an XK8 from the factory.

 

My mistake not a good description, the seats are all one colour

 

I was also surprised to read you had OE (original equipment) dual coloured leather seats and then found this was an option with 'Sports' trim pack on the original release cars for the UK market only. Clearly this didn't get beyond the catalogue or few if any, selected it, as I've never seen it either.

Aside from that, now you've found your seats are all one colour, the trim code is on a label on the passenger piller next to the door lock striker. It will be a three letter code e.g. NED which is the code for Ivory.

(hover your mouse over the photo to enlarge it)

What is your trim code?

The driver's seat in particular does tend to discolour with age on the cushion and lower part of the back panel. Apart from leather cleaning, you may have to do entire seat panels or even the whole seat.

In the X308 section FAQ post, there are a few files I sent in that will give you your trim codes.....

Here is yours:
