SLR HDK | Seats

Harry Pitcher • August 4, 2025

Fully bespoke Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren seats, retrimmed in volcano orange Alcantara featuring lasered tartan pattern centres and black alcantara seat backs.

The seats are probably the most stand-out feature of the car's interior. The spec on this vehicle is very vibrant to say the least. Our customer likes their vehicles to be memorable, and we think this has been achieved with the volcano orange Alcantara.


To pay respects to the SLR 722 GT and its tartan interior, we wanted an orange tartan to match this. However, they did not make an orange tartan. This is where Formation Industries came in. Formation Industries can create essentially anything you can think of... literally, 3D printing, bespoke tools, super rare materials, lasering and much much more.  We have worked with Chris for many years on plenty of projects, so we set Chris the task of recreating tartan through his lasering machine. As you can see, this came out perfectly and we had to explain to many people at SEMA that it is indeed lasered Alcantara. Note the SLR HDK lasered belt straps and SLR HDK silhouette in the headrests.

A regular d:class customer got in touch after acquiring their new Ferrari 812 CTS, requesting some retrim work. They wanted to make the car feel that extra bit more special and tailored to their personal style. The red leather Daytona-style seats already looked great, but aside from the floor mat binding, no other elements in the interior featured red. From our years of trimming Daytona-style seats for Ferrari, as well as the likes of McLaren, we’ve found that these interiors often benefit from a more cohesive mix of colour and materials. The result is typically a high-quality factory interior, but one that can lack the distinctive details needed to truly stand out.
