Mini Cooper S Partial Retrim

Harry Pitcher • November 29, 2023

This lairy Mini Cooper S, was booked into d:class for a handful of trimming jobs. The car is heavily modified, both mechanically and visually, including a carbon fibre interior with Recaro bucket seats. Our customer sent us images with questions about if we had anything special which suits their interior.

We are fortunate enough to be able to provide visual examples of projects for customers when required. Our customer loved the idea of carbon fibre leather but just wanted to see what it will look like prior to committing to the job. A couple of photoshops later, the green light was given to proceed.

We retrimmed the dashboard top, dashboard lower, door sills, horn push, and centre armrest with this carbon leather. The A, B, and C pillars were also retrimmed in black Alcantara. At d:class we offer seat belt re-webbing, and our customer requested new belts featuring red accents. The purpose of this was to match the other red accents found in the car, like the red carbon fibre and red bordering on the Recaro sport seats. Lastly, we fitted new supplied carbon fibre rear quarters, as requested by our customer.


What do you think about this insanely modified Cooper S? There is a lot going on, but everything has been completed to an outstanding finish with no expense spared. The car has even received a stage 3 tune, so we are lucky we don't have many neighbours as it sounds ferocious.

AC Cobra MK IV Full Restoration

By Dave Price • May 7, 2026
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.

Ferrari 488 GTB Wheel Retrim

By Harry Pitcher • April 28, 2026
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.
