Ferrari F355 Berlinetta - Dashtop Retrim

November 22, 2023

This gorgeous Ferrari F355 Berlinetta recently spent some time with us at d:class for various works. After speaking with our customer to establish exactly what they want to achieve, a decision was made to keep everything original where possible.


The Job


The binnacle and upper dashboard panels were the only items chosen to be retrimmed, as they could not be repaired or salvaged. As you can see from one of the images, the leather chosen was not the best, with plenty of scars visible. The lower dashboard, amongst other small interior pieces was connolised to give a new lease of life to these panels. The door latch and grab handle covers were also retrimmed, and the rest of the door cards were re-foamed with the original leather being reused. Lastly, the centre console was also connolised to match the rest of the refreshed Crema leather found in the interior.

The Ferrari F355 (Type F129) is a sports car manufactured by Italian car manufacturer Ferrari produced from May 1994 until 1999. The car is a heavily revised Ferrari 348 with notable exterior and performance changes. The F355 was succeeded by the all-new Ferrari 360 in 1999.

Design emphasis for the F355 was placed on significantly improved performance, as well as drivability across a wider range of speeds and in different environments, such as low-speed city traffic

SLR HDK | Lasering

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.
