   not really alot you can do to get rid, except a retrim, but maybe some decent leather cleaner autoglym do a good one.

    Yeah from what i know the seats are a straight fit, door cards need a little help fitting - theres a guide on here somewhere...

    I also picked up my gti leather seats saturday with the side airbags for £250. Half hour drive to collect which was a nice bonus.
    
    So so comfy & make the inside of the car look loads better

    Looks nice mate. The cracks in the leather can be repaired by a leather restorer.
    
    This is a example link of what they can do, amazing really. Prices are expensive, but if there are not many cracks it should not cost much at all really.

    you can actually get the cracks out on leather well most of them but it involves sand paper, sounds really harsh but results are good
    
    heres a thread on it from detailing world anyway
