A visit from a customer's vehicle we trimmed 5 years ago!
It's not too often we see the interiors of vehicles again once they leave d:class HQ, so this was a real treat for the team. Months of hard work goes into these full retrim/restorations like these, so we are glad to see the work being appreciated and looked after so well. At the time of writing this, April 2022, it has been five years since we completed this retrim.

Team member, Laurence, retrimmed the steering wheel as this is one of his biggest strengths as a trimmer. Before the retrim, it was just your standard black leather OEM SLR wheel. We wanted to do something stand-out but not overwhelming. It needed to impress but not shock. Originally we were meant to retrim the wheel orange, but decided this was too much, so we then made some renders of the top and bottom sections being orange, but this still didn't fit the criteria. Finally, we agreed on a black Alcantara wheel with an orange Alcantara racing band. We then thought, "How can we make this special?" and as we were doing plenty of lasering, we added a small laser-etched McLaren speed mark to the racing band. Such a small feature really does make a huge difference.
