This Ferrari 456M GT came to d:class because it had the usual leather shrinkage found on the 456 dashboard. This tends to be caused by the Italian leather hides holding a lot of moisture, making them feel very soft and malleable. However, this means that areas of the interior exposed to the sun are susceptible to being dried out and as a result, shrink.

Once the dashboard was removed, along with the passenger airbag and driver binnacle, we then needed to remove all of the leather and old foam that lay beneath. This takes quite some time, but it is surely worth it in the end. We then installed new foam which is then lightly sanded to give a lovely rolled edge, ensuring a OEM finish.

To guarantee the perfect finish, we selected genuine Ferrari leather. The only drawback is that, at the time of this retrim, the original material was thirty years old, so new leather cannot be compared to it. We advise a complete retrim for this reason. But as our customer uses this vehicle every day, they were solely concerned with fixing the interior sections that had been sun-damaged.
