Seat cushions and headlight covers

i purchased a gorgeous 2009 DB9 with 15,000 miles a few months back and there are only two things that keep it from being as it rolled off the showroom floor.
The first item is the leather on the seat cushions have a pattern that appears to be from the heating element. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this, and had a solution short of recovering them.
The second item (which is kind of trivial) is the headlight covers are quite clear but have a lengthwise "crazing" that would not be corrected by polishing. Again, any suggestions would be appreciated. It is not worth replacing the complete units.
Thanks

No. (Do you have any idea what those things cost?) Smile

Yes, new headlights are more than $1800 each, and mine are probably better than most used ones. That is why I was just looking to see if anyone had any ideas.
