At d:class we love rare and special vehicles and are fortunate enough to work with some of the world's most exclusive vehicles. This car is a prime example of this being only 1 of 40 RHD Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM AMG's ever made, and only 1 of 6 as a convertible. Originally it was planned to have 80 produced, but this was drastically reduced to just 6. From our research, this may be the only example in black.

The Job; So this CLK DTM AMG came to d:class for a few things. Firstly, The front seats and rear seat pads needed a retrim as the customer desired a colour change from the OEM red leather centres, to a more sophisticated grey Alcantara. The leather was also replaced for a like-for-like grey nappa leather with grey stitching.


Next up was the soft top hood, This is no longer a service we offer, but we honoured it for this vehicle as it is going to MB World, to be put on display for the public to admire. This was just a simple black OEM hood replacement as the previous one had some signs of wear.


The OEM wheel was black nappa leather with red stitching, but keeping with the more mature look this CLK DTM AMG now showcases, this was replaced with black Alcantara and black stitching. We think it really improves the interior, and in some way makes it feel more race-inspired.


Final touch was a brand new set of floor mats, featuring the AMG logo in a silver stitch to match the OEM ones which had become very worn through years of use. Matching OEM carpet was used so these fit right in, as they should.

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.
