Mercedes-Benz G-Class Seat Retrim
Harry Pitcher • February 14, 2022
It is not everyday you see a Brabus edition Mercedes-Benz G-Class on the road, aka "G-Wagen", and this one received a bit of attention during it's time here at d:class HQ. Our customer brought their vehicle to us requesting the factory black nappa leather to be retrimmed with ivory nappa leather. The perforated centres were dropped and replaced with AMG inspired stitching, created by our sister company d:class autostitch on our very fancy CNC stitching and perforating machine.
We were not initially sold on the leather colour choice due to the vehicle being pure white, but credit where credit is due we think it works extremely well.

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.
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.
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.
