Our Headquarters' new look!
As you can see our office used to look very different. It was a make shift tea room, store room and home to general clutter that had no where else to go. Our now previous office was situated down the side of the building which was never easy for customers to spot, so we knew something had to be done. The front room was the best place for the office to be moved to as it is the closest part of the building to our customer parking spaces.
Take a look at how we created our brand new leather stores room.
On-Site Progression
As our site seems to be forever expanding and developing, we receive a lot of positive comments from returning customers and companies we trade with about the speed of which our site is changing. As a result of this we thought it would be best to post blog updates of everything happening here at d:class automotive HQ.
Full interior retrim in brown distressed Ostrich leather
As mentioned in the Seat section, all of our lasering was accomplished by Chris and Marc from Formation Industries. The tartan pattern was a perfect replica, even the shape and texture of a real piece of tartan material was achieved... somehow, but that's Formation Industries. We have since had samples come through with this pattern in a variety of colours which we now offer as part of any retrims. We are not limited to replicating tartan, but have previously recreated houndstooth which was lasered into distressed leather for another customer. Got a pattern in mind? get in touch and we can make it happen. Not only did Formation Industries laser our seats, but this pattern was repeated onto the headlining and door cards. The dashboard saw multiple SRS Airbag emblems lasered into the dash top and lower dash panels. The floor mats also feature "SLR HDK" logos repeatedly creating a pattern.

Team member, Laurence, retrimmed the steering wheel as this is one of his biggest strengths as a trimmer. Before the retrim, it was just your standard black leather OEM SLR wheel. We wanted to do something stand-out but not overwhelming. It needed to impress but not shock. Originally we were meant to retrim the wheel orange, but decided this was too much, so we then made some renders of the top and bottom sections being orange, but this still didn't fit the criteria. Finally, we agreed on a black Alcantara wheel with an orange Alcantara racing band. We then thought, "How can we make this special?" and as we were doing plenty of lasering, we added a small laser-etched McLaren speed mark to the racing band. Such a small feature really does make a huge difference.
