Harry Pitcher • October 12, 2022

The 190E Interior Is Complete!



In this penultimate Team New Class episode of the d:class Build Battle, The team finish the interior. Finishing off from last time, we see the roll cage, dashboard and seats get finished. We also show you how the door cards were fabricated and trimmed with special guest Keith, from Kenwood UK who goes through Team New Class's fancy new head unit.

Seats: The seats are from a Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG, they were totally standard with black leather upper and lower bolsters, perforated black leather seat centres with additional red leather accents. This has all now changed with a simplified seat layout and of course colour and material changes. The bolsters have now been retrimmed in blue nappa leather, the seat centres are now Mercedes-Benz blue Karo sports check. for the headrests, Team Old school had them perforated with "05", the same number found on the livery. This is for the year 2005 when d:class was first established.

This AC Cobra is another full interior retrim completed as part of a vehicle restoration collaboration with Redline Engineering . This is the second project we have recently carried out in partnership with Neil and his team, and the specification for this one is truly something special. The customer requested a tan Connolly leather, and after working closely with both them and Neil from Redline, we settled on Parkside Caramel nappa leather. It was an incredible choice, the super smooth finish and rich colour work perfectly with the Guardsman Blue metallic paint. We then needed a carpet that complemented the leather equally well, so a biscuit-coloured carpet from Boyriven was selected. New dials and gauges were installed, alongside new seat harnesses.

This Porsche 991 911 Carrera 4S belongs to another customer who has recently seen the influx of Porsches across our socials and blog. They have also requested the very sought-after houndstooth seat centre retrim. They have selected a black and red houndstooth for their seat centres and door card centres to be retrimmed in. A great choice, that also matches the black of the car and the red of the seat belts and calipers. Whilst we had the car, our customer also opted for a steering wheel retrim. Nothing crazy for this one, just a like-for-like OEM retrim to the same spec. Black nappa leather with black stitching and black racing band.

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.
