Caterham 7 Partial Retrim for GF Williams

Harry Pitcher • March 3, 2022

Returning to d:class once again is George, also known as GF Williams across social media. This time around we are giving the d:class treatment to George's Caterham 7. As these are kit cars, interior creature comforts are certainly not a priority. We were tasked with retrimming the steering wheel and centre tunnel, however we wanted to do something rather special for George.


Starting with the steering wheel, this has been retrimmed in charcoal Alcantara with an additional racing band in blue Alcantara. This blue was chosen as it is the closest match to the vehicles paint colour you can find, it only seemed right. With this we knew the thread for the hand stitched wheel had to also match. Last but not least, we swapped out the MOMO logo for the Caterham 7 logo which has been embroidered in the same blue thread.



Next up, the centre console. The original console was lacking any flair, shocking really that the car comes like this from factory. Those who have followed us for a while will easily see that this needs altering. So starting off with material, we swapped out the shiny vinyl with some charcoal Alcantara. We ditched the factory foam and trimmed straight onto the centre console panel for a more refined finish. Now for that flair we was speaking of, using our CNC stitching and perforation machine. We perforated the Caterham "7" emblem out of the Alcantara and situated it where it would be most visible. This was then backed with blue Alcantara to match the other blue accents.

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.

This beautiful Ferrari 328 GTS came to d:class with a common repair job. Mickey mouse had moved himself in whilst the vehicle was being long-term stored, and fancied a diet of 80s Italian leather. This does happen with vehicles being stored over long periods of time, especially those who store their cars with vehicle storage companies near any farmland. So, the job was to retrim both seat bases, retrim the handbrake lever, both of the seat side trims, and some of the rear bulkhead trim. Who knew mice could have such exotic dietary requirements. Mickey wasn't very tidy and left a lot of mess, so we gave the car a clean inside and out, ready for the customer. We don't typically post this kind of work, but we are suckers here for a 1980s Ferrari, so we had to shoot it....and make a Fast and Furious parody clip. Enjoy!
