DB4 GT Tillett Seat Retrim

Aston Martin DB4 GT 18 green tillett racing race seat d:class leather pads customised interior

This Aston Martin DB4 GT recently came to d:class for a drivers seat retrim. Not your typical drivers seat though, as the original has currently been replaced with a carbon fibre Tillett racing seat, as the car is a regular on the race track. This seat comes from factory as just a bare carbon shell, no foam or pads of any sort. So this meant we had to start from scratch and create a comfortable, practical, yet stylish set of pads for this seat to match the cars aesthetic.


Green nappa leather was chosen with tonal stitching for the seat back and base. Up top on the headrest, we recreated the Aston Martin emblem for our heat press machine, debossing the logo into this headrest pad, a really subtle but effective touch.

Now for some unrelated images, just a really cool, super expensive, classic British racing car. Enjoy

This Ferrari 488 GTB came to d:class for a steering wheel retrim, despite only showing light signs of wear. Having recently changed hands, the new owner wanted the car to feel completely their own. Starting with the one part you touch every time you drive. A fresh wheel makes all the difference, complemented by the installation of new steering wheel buttons to complete that factory-fresh finish.

This Porsche 911 Turbo S came to d:class for a partial seat and door card retrim. The customer wanted a band of grey Alcantara flowing around the seat base and back, matched as closely as possible to the car’s exterior colour. We were also tasked with recreating the debossed ‘Turbo S’ as an embroidered logo. Finally, the door card centres were retrimmed in matching grey Alcantara, complete with OEM-style stitch lines. Not a huge job, but a well-executed and highly effective OEM-like upgrade.

This is the second Porsche 918 Spyder to come through d:class for a steering wheel retrim. The reason for this one, however, is a little unusual. The previous owner chose to cut corners by hand-painting the racing band orange... hardly the right approach on any car, let alone one of this calibre. From factory, this 918 Spyder featured a distinctive neon green racing band, designed to tie in with other signature details across the car, such as the rev needle, rear badging, and brake calipers. Naturally, the new owner wanted this put right, and the car was promptly brought to us for a wheel retrim.
