Build Battle Episode 11

190e Wrap and body kit reveal...finally.

By far the biggest reveal we have had on the Build Battle so far, the wrap and completed body kit for the Mercedes-Benz 190e for Team New Class.


This would of been impossible if it wasn't for our two sponsors; Top Body Kit and S6 Customs limited. The body kit was supplied by Top Body Kit and fitted by the team with guidance and assistance from Multi-Tech Coachworks.

The team spent many hours after work and on weekends to try and get the body kit to fit correctly. Fitting body kits is rarely a matter of bolting on and being done with it, this is where the guys at Multi-Tech came to assist the team. 


Once the kit was able to be fitted and removed easily, it was then ready to be sent off to S6 Customs for the livery. Before being sent to S6, Team New Class were in contact back and forth with design ideas for the livery.

It's amazing how far this car has come already. More modifications have already taken place and the retrim has already began, so make sure you're following the build on our YouTube channel and Instagram.


In a previous episode we explain the delay for Team Old School. Their car is currently being worked on so part 2 and 3 of the respray will be released as soon as possible. Feel free to give them a gentle nudge in the comments of this latest episode below.

Ferrari 812 GTS | Part Retrim

By Harry Pitcher • January 21, 2026
A regular d:class customer got in touch after acquiring their new Ferrari 812 CTS, requesting some retrim work. They wanted to make the car feel that extra bit more special and tailored to their personal style. The red leather Daytona-style seats already looked great, but aside from the floor mat binding, no other elements in the interior featured red. From our years of trimming Daytona-style seats for Ferrari, as well as the likes of McLaren, we’ve found that these interiors often benefit from a more cohesive mix of colour and materials. The result is typically a high-quality factory interior, but one that can lack the distinctive details needed to truly stand out.
