In this episode of the d:class Build Battle, Team New Class make a lot of progress with the Mercedes-Benz 190e Interior retrim. New AMG dashboard and seats are retrofitted to the car with some of the OEM interior features brought over. New black carpet is laid with matching black Dinamica headlining. The roll cage is also being trimmed to match the blue leather found on the seats, dashboard and door cards.
In Part 2 you will see the finished interior and how each area of the car was carefully, and skilfully, retrimmed.

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.
