A drivers seat for a Ferrari 328 in at d:class HQ for a full retrim. As you can see the before and after comparison is night and day. The seats had been previously connolised and additionally the leather had ripped in places. The debossed prancing horse had totally lost its detail and lastly there was evidence of water damage.
Our customer requested for the seats to be retrimmed in the same OEM colour from new. Even though the seats had been connolised which covered up the original colour, we were able to find areas which avoided the paint to match the new leather to.
We often receive requests for leather connolising, however we tend to avoid these jobs as we prefer to offer permanent solutions as apposed to temporary. Connolising never looks convincing enough as a retrim so we would hate to not meet expectations.
Once the patterns for the seat had been made, Laurence who led this project, set to stitching the seat centre rectangle pattern. Then once all the other panels had been sewn together, this created a cover that was then fitted and hog ringed nice and tight. Seat plastics were also trimmed resulting in a "paint like" finish. The headrests were created separately and debossed with a new prancing horse. We hold plenty of stamps for Ferrari, Porsche, Recaro and other brands, so we had the exact stamp required on file.
The results speak for themselves...
