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.

SLR HDK | Lasering

By Harry Pitcher • August 4, 2025
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.
