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.

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.
