Rolls-Royce Wraith Retrim

Harry Pitcher • April 6, 2022

This Rolls-Royce Wraith belongs to a loyal customer of d:class. We have seen many of their cars through our doors, including a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon we recently retrimmed the seats for seen here.


The vehicle came to us with its original cobalt blue interior from Rolls-Royce, however our customer wanted something more subtle and to their taste. It was then decided we would retrim all of the blue leather to black, including the perforated seat centres.

The first step was to remove the interior parts which were going to be retrimmed. These were both the drivers and front passenger seat, the rear bench and centre piece, the front and rear door cards which included the armrests on both of these.


The next step is to pick apart all of these panels and make patterns of these for the new black nappa and perforated leather.

Once all of the panels had been cut out, it is then a matter of piecing all of these together and adding any additional decretive top stitching. We had the perforated panels matched to the OEM black pieces which were being reused, so we had to ensure they were to the exact OEM specification.

Before & After

Some people may not like retrimming the interior to a more subtle colour, but it is all perspective. Some people may like the very vibrant and lairy colours available from Rolls-Royce, and others may prefer the more tame and premium themed all black interior. No matter what our customers choose we are committed to delivering the best result possible with our extremely talented automotive interior experts. We like the black on black look and it shows up very well on video too!

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.

This Porsche 911 Turbo S came to d:class for a partial seat and door card retrim. The customer wanted a band of grey Alcantara flowing around the seat base and back, matched as closely as possible to the car’s exterior colour. We were also tasked with recreating the debossed ‘Turbo S’ as an embroidered logo. Finally, the door card centres were retrimmed in matching grey Alcantara, complete with OEM-style stitch lines. Not a huge job, but a well-executed and highly effective OEM-like upgrade.

This is the second Porsche 918 Spyder to come through d:class for a steering wheel retrim. The reason for this one, however, is a little unusual. The previous owner chose to cut corners by hand-painting the racing band orange... hardly the right approach on any car, let alone one of this calibre. From factory, this 918 Spyder featured a distinctive neon green racing band, designed to tie in with other signature details across the car, such as the rev needle, rear badging, and brake calipers. Naturally, the new owner wanted this put right, and the car was promptly brought to us for a wheel retrim.
