Caterham 7 Partial Retrim for GF Williams

Harry Pitcher • March 3, 2022

Returning to d:class once again is George, also known as GF Williams across social media. This time around we are giving the d:class treatment to George's Caterham 7. As these are kit cars, interior creature comforts are certainly not a priority. We were tasked with retrimming the steering wheel and centre tunnel, however we wanted to do something rather special for George.

Starting with the steering wheel, this has been retrimmed in charcoal Alcantara with an additional racing band in blue Alcantara. This blue was chosen as it is the closest match to the vehicles paint colour you can find, it only seemed right. With this we knew the thread for the hand stitched wheel had to also match. Last but not least, we swapped out the MOMO logo for the Caterham 7 logo which has been embroidered in the same blue thread.

Next up, the centre console. The original console was lacking any flair, shocking really that the car comes like this from factory. Those who have followed us for a while will easily see that this needs altering. So starting off with material, we swapped out the shiny vinyl with some charcoal Alcantara. We ditched the factory foam and trimmed straight onto the centre console panel for a more refined finish. Now for that flair we was speaking of, using our CNC stitching and perforation machine. We perforated the Caterham "7" emblem out of the Alcantara and situated it where it would be most visible. This was then backed with blue Alcantara to match the other blue accents.

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.
