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 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.

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.
