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.

SLR HDK | Lasering

By Harry Pitcher • August 4, 2025
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.
