Ferrari F355 Berlinetta - Dashtop Retrim

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
