Ok you simply cut a small piece from underneath the seat about an inch square and send it to them. Thats what i did, they matched it perfectly and i mean perfectly.

I simply sanded mine back very lightly with the sandpaper they supplied. It is lasting very very well and is showiing no signs at all of cracking, wearing or deteriation. People cant believe the seats are 26 years old.
