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.

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.

Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Houndstooth Retrim

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.
