i got the recolouring kit, it was only about 50 bucks. The bolster you can see in that pic i did not use because of the wear on the edge, i had a spare but the rest of the seat i used. came up amazing huh. took me ages like everything else in this rebuild.

Had a quick look at the website but didn't go into the instructions on how to do it...can you provide a brief overview of what's involved?

its real simple, you clean the seat with soapy water and rinse well, then apply a pre solution they supply, a bit like alchahol, then you sand the seat back with sandpaper lightly, then pre solution again. then you brush on with a foam brush they supply the colouring solution. it takes a few coats, i did four. Each coat takes about 15min to touch dry. after 48 hours you condition the leather with the stuff they give you.Everything comes supplied. I was lucky to have two sets of the same colour seats and so was able to pick the best seats, plastics etc. You can use the bolster off the inside passenger seat as it never gets any wear to replace the drivers side on. I sent a sample of my leather that I cut from under the seat and they colour match it for you. They did a perfect job.

Jesus, that looks awesome.
I've seen these before, the more you spend the better. Don't buy those cheap leather cleaning products, they dry the leather out and make it shiny!
