Ferrari 355 Spider Hood Retrim

Here we have a Ferrari 355 Spider, belonging to our good friend and customer, @duke_of_london who requested a new convertible hood and bag for his beloved car. He also opted to change the colour to a more vibrant red, which I'm sure we can all agree transforms his car. The hood bag is totally bespoke, fitted with red nappa leather, and tonal twin stitching to OEM spec.

So starting with the original black hood, there was evidence of wearing in a few locations, so our customer booked in for a new hood and bag. During the booking in process, a discussion was had for an entirely new colour to bring a bit more life to the vehicle. Even though a Ferrari 355 Spider is a very capable car, a rather safe all black interior does not scream Ferrari!

Once the hood arrived, we quickly got to work removing the old and replacing it with the new. The Ferrari f355 Spider hoods are notorious for being hard to replace. Fortunately, we have a highly skilled team, including three team members who can replace hoods.

Once this was complete, Jamie set about creating a totally bespoke hood bag with red nappa leather with tonal twin stitching. The previous hood bag was black and had been cut from bad areas of the hide, with a high amount of scars and imperfections. This is common with large areas of leather from manufacturers. However, we can be fussy here so only the best cuts have been used, creating a very elegant hood bag.
