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!

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.
