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.

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.

Team member, Laurence, retrimmed the steering wheel as this is one of his biggest strengths as a trimmer. Before the retrim, it was just your standard black leather OEM SLR wheel. We wanted to do something stand-out but not overwhelming. It needed to impress but not shock. Originally we were meant to retrim the wheel orange, but decided this was too much, so we then made some renders of the top and bottom sections being orange, but this still didn't fit the criteria. Finally, we agreed on a black Alcantara wheel with an orange Alcantara racing band. We then thought, "How can we make this special?" and as we were doing plenty of lasering, we added a small laser-etched McLaren speed mark to the racing band. Such a small feature really does make a huge difference.
