As Mercedes-Benz specialists at d:class, we were very excited when this job came through our email inbox. Not only a fantastic example of a W112, but a modified one. Those who know us will be familiar with our roots in the modified car scene, so this job is right up our street.


This is a similar job to one we completed in recent years, a W108 belonging to our good friend, Dougie, with another large Mercedes-Benz on airride suspension with a custom d:class interior. Feel free to check that out here.

This is how the vehicle arrived to us, with a near stripped interior, but still featuring the previously retrimmed seats.


The job was simple, create a complete bespoke interior which featuring the correct basket weave seat centres, fabricate new door cards and a centre console, create and install a new headlining, and brand new carpets.


The leather used in this retrim was black Muirhead Lustrana which is some of the best leather we get the pleasure of working with. The basket weave seat centres were created with the same leather. Custom flutes were made with our selection of foams to create plump yet reinforced seat centres. The door cards, arm rests, B pillars, centre console, parcel shelf, and more were all retrimmed in this luscious material.


The Headlining was custom-made from black vinyl which covers all the way back to the rear parcel shelf, doubling as a C pillar. We fitted the woods for our customer which are found on the A pillars, door tops, and dashboard.

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.

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.
