Mercedes-Benz SL350 Interior Retrim

Harry Pitcher • November 15, 2023

This Mercedes-Benz SL350 recently came to d:class for a partial interior retrim. The vehicle has undergone a soft restoration, and our interior work was the final part of this restoration. Before we had the privilege of working on the vehicle, it had just received an exterior respray and a mechanical overhaul.


Our customer requested for both seats to be retrimmed, the door card centres and grab handles, centre console panels, rear interior panels, and lastly a fresh set of seat belts.

For this project, we retrimmed the seats, door cards, and rear panels in Alpaca grey grained leather, supplied by our good friends at @UK Hide. This leather is a period correct Mercedes-Benz leather. A matching vinyl was also selected as some parts of the OEM interior which are vinyl. The Centre console and other areas had a darker shade of grey leather, this is Middle Orion grained grey leather and was also supplied by UK Hide.

Lastly, we were asked to change the seat belts as the originals had begun to discolour. Fresh light grey belts across the newly retrimmed leather seats really add a little something extra to this partial retrim. We have sort out and achieved an OEM like for like retrim on this beautiful SL350 example.

AC Cobra MK IV Full Restoration

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

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.
