Looks like LEG is Warm Charcoal. Got my info here:

Jaguar Leather Trim Colour Chart

Scroll down to last entry in "1990's - 2009 Jaguar Colour Range: All Models" section.

I have a set of seats for your car that I had done up & then ended up with Recaro seats. The seats were recovered in all leather not just the faces. I used the top of the line leatehr from GAAH. I even had the back panel & seat runner covers done. The are in perfect condition. I have over $2000. invested in the upgrades but would just like to sell them as they are sitting. If you are interested I can send you photos.

If your not sure about GAHH they are top of the line. I had them supply me new hides. Great acquisition if you can work the deal.

Thanks for the offer but the seats are just showing some light cracking patina so there is really no reason to replace everything as even the drivers side seat bolster is fine just some general cracking. Heck even the center console cover is still almost perfect. Which amazes me considering its a 12 year old car.

I bought a leather re-colour kit off EBay for £16.
The company wanted the car VIN and colour code.
The kit they sent me (around 2 days) included cleaner, cloths, sponges and dye.
I was doubtful, but at £16, no big loss if it didn't work.
It took about an hour to do my two seats and a few scuffs on the console, door trims etc.
The results blew me away!
You absolutely can NOT tell where the dye has been used, it even covered a badly worn line on the drivers backrest, (door-side - notorious for wearing)
A year on, and the leather still looks amazing. No cracking or peeling or anything negative. STILL got 1/2 a bottle of dye left.
A bonus, it really restored the 'leather' smell in the car too!
My advice to anyone with 'iffy' looking leather anywhere, TRY IT!
I have NOTHING to do with the company either - I'm just an extremely happy customer.
If you're interested, Google 'Scuff master', or search them on EBay.
Roy.
