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

Ferrari 488 GTB Wheel Retrim

By Harry Pitcher • April 28, 2026
This Ferrari 488 GTB came to d:class for a steering wheel retrim, despite only showing light signs of wear. Having recently changed hands, the new owner wanted the car to feel completely their own. Starting with the one part you touch every time you drive. A fresh wheel makes all the difference, complemented by the installation of new steering wheel buttons to complete that factory-fresh finish.

Porsche 911 Turbo S Partial Retrim

By Harry Pitcher • April 28, 2026
This Porsche 911 Turbo S came to d:class for a partial seat and door card retrim. The customer wanted a band of grey Alcantara flowing around the seat base and back, matched as closely as possible to the car’s exterior colour. We were also tasked with recreating the debossed ‘Turbo S’ as an embroidered logo. Finally, the door card centres were retrimmed in matching grey Alcantara, complete with OEM-style stitch lines. Not a huge job, but a well-executed and highly effective OEM-like upgrade.

Porsche 918 Spyder Steering Wheel Retrim

By Harry Pitcher • April 23, 2026
This is the second Porsche 918 Spyder to come through d:class for a steering wheel retrim. The reason for this one, however, is a little unusual. The previous owner chose to cut corners by hand-painting the racing band orange... hardly the right approach on any car, let alone one of this calibre. From factory, this 918 Spyder featured a distinctive neon green racing band, designed to tie in with other signature details across the car, such as the rev needle, rear badging, and brake calipers. Naturally, the new owner wanted this put right, and the car was promptly brought to us for a wheel retrim.
