Porsche 911 Carrera GTS  'Heritage interior' upgrade

Our customer reached out to us with their Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet, the daily to their GT3 RS, and tasked us with upgrading their interior with some lovely black and white Houndstooth. Those keen Porsche followers will know that this is an option from factory, known as the 'Heritage Pack', featuring Houndstooth seat centres front and rear, door card centres, and a tan leather dashboard panel. Quite a hefty optional extra in regards to price, but we were able to achieve our customers requirements at a fraction of the cost.

Before

The original interior was great as it was, we think Porsche actually make some of the best OEM interiors on the market. This one however, was eeking out for something a little extra, that added bit of spice to complete the interior. We believe adding Houndstooth to a full tan interior like this is the most effective use of the material. The tan appears bolder and more vibrant when accompanied with the contrast black and white Houndstooth pattern. Not forgetting the black leather on the dash and door card tops, that tie it all together and make the interior feel very premium and intentional.

Houndstooth, a woven pattern originating in Scotland, became a staple of classic European style before entering the automotive world. Porsche adopted it, originally known as “Pepita” in the 1960s and featured in early Porsche 911s. It offered a lightweight, sporty alternative to full leather while adding a distinctive visual contrast. Today, it’s a heritage detail loved by enthusiasts for its connection to Porsche’s golden era. Retrimming interiors in houndstooth is a great way to blend modern builds with that timeless, motorsport-inspired look.

Once the seats were completed and fitted back into the car, we were treated to an incredible sunset. So, we took the opportunity to capture the vehicle during golden hour, a rarity in the UK.



The car looks absolutely incredible and has been transformed by trimming just the seat centres and door card centres. Enjoy.

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

By Harry Pitcher • May 5, 2026
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.
