Build Battle Episode 11

Harry Pitcher • February 15, 2022

190e Wrap and body kit reveal...finally.

By far the biggest reveal we have had on the Build Battle so far, the wrap and completed body kit for the Mercedes-Benz 190e for Team New Class.


This would of been impossible if it wasn't for our two sponsors; Top Body Kit and S6 Customs limited. The body kit was supplied by Top Body Kit and fitted by the team with guidance and assistance from Multi-Tech Coachworks.

The team spent many hours after work and on weekends to try and get the body kit to fit correctly. Fitting body kits is rarely a matter of bolting on and being done with it, this is where the guys at Multi-Tech came to assist the team. 


Once the kit was able to be fitted and removed easily, it was then ready to be sent off to S6 Customs for the livery. Before being sent to S6, Team New Class were in contact back and forth with design ideas for the livery.

It's amazing how far this car has come already. More modifications have already taken place and the retrim has already began, so make sure you're following the build on our YouTube channel and Instagram.


In a previous episode we explain the delay for Team Old School. Their car is currently being worked on so part 2 and 3 of the respray will be released as soon as possible. Feel free to give them a gentle nudge in the comments of this latest episode below.

AC Cobra MK IV Full Restoration

By Dave Price • May 7, 2026
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.

Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Houndstooth Retrim

By Harry Pitcher • May 5, 2026
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.

Ferrari 488 GTB Wheel Retrim

By Harry Pitcher • April 28, 2026
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.
