I have an opportunity to get myself the leather interior pieces i need to finish my transformation for very very cheap. However this piece has some potential issues. Particularly some deep impressions and a small rip. Is it worth repairing? Can it be repaired? Pics inside.

Above is how the seats are suppose to look mint.

These are the seats in question. Looks like it was the victim of a car seat. But im not sure.

Thats the extent of the damage.

So now for some numbers. I would be into these for 75 bucks. Very good condition ones run anywhere between 3-500. And shipping is usually another 100 or more.

Is it worth trying a go myself to fix those areas? Id be more than happy to find a leather specialist to pay for the repair if it would be reasonable. Id pay up to 250 to fix these.

Rips can be patched pretty easily. You place canvas underneath, glue it, fill the crack, sand, dye. Leatherique has what you need to match the leather and whatnot.

I'm sure google has instructions on what to do about impressions.

The Upholstery Wizards only accept payment in oral sex, liquor, and lifelong memories

Not sure how to decimate that

The Real Dacia Sandero has rips pretty much covered. For dents, usually heat and moisture do the trick. Suprisingly, eHow has a good tutorial, verified by some users on ClubLexus.

You drive a hard bargain. 2 lifetime memories and 301 gallons of shine, and we have a deal.

Movie night it is! I hope you can hold your snot, cause between me an you, it might be a challenge drinking 1.505 gallons of shine. Midnight Bayou is my pick, seems fitting for shine injected night. Ill be nice and let you have your choice for movie #2

Find a Wizard that can Blind Stitch. I'm only about a 8th Level Wizard myself.... the quickest fix would be to reskin them.
