The 190 Gets A Custom Exhaust!




Firstly, a huge thank you to the team at Style Dynamics for having us down for the day to get the custom exhaust made. We learnt a lot about the process of creating something totally bespoke for our car. They assisted team leader Max in choosing the right tips for the exhaust and how loud to make it. We did not want anything too ridiculous as the engine is still only a 1.8 litre.

Once the decision of tip and sound was made, the guys went about cutting and bending the correct size pieces of stainless steel. They then mocked up how the exhaust would run underneath the vehicle, avoiding things like the differential and using the OEM exhaust hanger locations. Next up was welding the entire system together with the beautiful welding you see in the images below. After this, the system was then polished to give it that real stand-out shine. Last but not least, the system was then fitted to the car and a sound check was demonstrated.

Happy with the results, we set off back to d:class HQ but not without stopping to grab some fly-by shots showing off the 190's new sound. The team were over the moon with the results and because we are all children at heart, they all waited their turn to annoy the neighbours by revving the car.


Once again, thank you to the team at Style Dynamics, they really are one of the best at what they do, they also do engine conversions and servicing on a list of German vehicles so check them out!

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.
