Mercedes-Benz R129 Seat Retrim
Harry Pitcher • February 5, 2024
Possibly the cleanest Mercedes-Benz R129 to come through the doors at d:class automotive. This SL500, with only 47,000* miles, was booked in for both front seats to be retrimmed and the door card speaker covers. This car really was something special, we gauge this by how many d:class team members come out to look at a new arrival... There were quite a few. The interior features Helios front and rear leather seats, door cards, and carpets.
Here are the before images. Apart from the usual bolster wear, the seats were in incredible condition. However, our customer wanted the entire seat to be the same matching condition. This then led to both of the front seats being retrimmed to ensure a perfect, long-lasting finishing result

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.
