Harley-Davidson Seat Retrim

Bike Seat Retrim

Our good friends at Guildford Harley-Davidson contacted d:class once again for another custom bike seat retrim. At the time of writing this, we have completed another cover and are creating one more, but sadly we cannot show you until we get the green light to do so.


For this seat, we were tasked with creating a simple yet stylish design with a mixture of materials. The use of black nappa leather and black Alcantara was specified by the customer. To connect the seat and bike together, we chose a thread that was as similar as possible to the green vinyl stickers and framework of the bicycle.

The first step is to plan the design of the cover by mocking up potential stitch lines on the original cover. Next is to draw out the design onto the material and cut out. Once all patterned pieces are stitched together, it is just a matter of fitting the cover over the foam and installing it.

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

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.
