FINISHED! TGE TV's Porsche 912 Retrim

Harry Pitcher • April 1, 2022

Final Episode Here!

It feels like forever ago we first showcased Tom's Porsche 912 to you all, but fear not as we finally have the results for you. Luckily we are not limited to ten images here on our blog, so we can show you tonnes of images and bore you with even more information about the retrim.

Where we left off from episode 2...

We finished off episode 2 with Tom visiting d:class HQ to see the progression on his car. This left us with two huge areas of the interior left to trim, the two front seats and dashboard.


We will start with the front seats, as let's be honest they are the biggest and best part of this retrim that you all want to see.

We have Formation Industries to thank for designing and creating these seat centres. Chris from Formation Industries worked with us to provide the best results possible for the 912. He sampled many designs and sizes before reaching the result we have now, and they are truly astonishing. We searched far and wide and could not find anyone else who has done this to a vehicles interior, so definitely a unique and first for automotive interiors.

The upper bolsters, lower and seat backs have been retrimmed in a black distressed leather. David, the boss, and Tom discussed in episode one the perks of having a more vintage style leather as apposed to perfect nappa leather. This being that we feel a more stylised and 'worn' interior is more period correct, and of course making it totally unique to anything else out there. The seats also have green leather piping, which is also distressed, to fit in with the aesthetic of this retrim. The same green leather can be found on the binding for the carpets and even the gear gator.

Next up, the dashboard...

We wanted to showcase our skills and resources where possible, so for the dashboard we set about recreating the perforated shape found on the old dashboard. For this recreation we used our CNC Stitching and Perforation machine. Firstly, we had to take measurements of the original shape, then recreate this on a design programme to scale. Next, we tested a variety of perforation hole sizes until we found one that suited best. As a little sprinkle of additional detail, we left out punching some of the holes to show '912' into the dashboard. Lastly, we found a new home for the "Porsche Club Italia" emblem in the passenger corner. We have sunken this into dashboard to look more purposeful.

Be sure to comment on our YouTube video, let us know what you think of the results and if there was anything you would do differently.


Until then, enjoy these images taken before Tom arrived to collect his vehicle.

AC Cobra MK IV Full Restoration

By Dave Price • May 7, 2026
This AC Cobra is another full interior retrim completed as part of a vehicle restoration collaboration with Redline Engineering . This is the second project we have recently carried out in partnership with Neil and his team, and the specification for this one is truly something special. The customer requested a tan Connolly leather, and after working closely with both them and Neil from Redline, we settled on Parkside Caramel nappa leather. It was an incredible choice, the super smooth finish and rich colour work perfectly with the Guardsman Blue metallic paint. We then needed a carpet that complemented the leather equally well, so a biscuit-coloured carpet from Boyriven was selected. New dials and gauges were installed, alongside new seat harnesses.

Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Houndstooth Retrim

By Harry Pitcher • May 5, 2026
This Porsche 991 911 Carrera 4S belongs to another customer who has recently seen the influx of Porsches across our socials and blog. They have also requested the very sought-after houndstooth seat centre retrim. They have selected a black and red houndstooth for their seat centres and door card centres to be retrimmed in. A great choice, that also matches the black of the car and the red of the seat belts and calipers. Whilst we had the car, our customer also opted for a steering wheel retrim. Nothing crazy for this one, just a like-for-like OEM retrim to the same spec. Black nappa leather with black stitching and black racing band.

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.
