Chevy C10 Truck - Full Interior Retrim

He's back! Dougie returns with another one of his projects, this time a Chevrolet C10 truck from across the pond.

Unlike most trim shops, we offer more than just craftsmanship, we can bring your vision to life before the vehicle even comes to our HQ. Our "render to reality" service lets you see realistic Photoshop mock-ups of your desired interior. Below, you can see Dougie's Chevrolet C10: from when it arrived, to what was agreed prior to the retrim... after many variations. This idea did have us questioning Dougie, "are you sure you want the entire thing retrimmed in this Ostrich leather?" and he stuck to his guns and was adamant he wanted everything as specified in the render/brief.

Once the C10 made it to d:class, we photographed and filmed the "before" shots as we knew the results would be a huge change. An amazing truck to start with, but time to make it more unique and bespoke to our customers requirements.

For this project, we worked with our good friends at UK Hide. They offer a whole variety of extraordinary and remarkable leathers, alongside their amazing nappas and grained leathers which we usually use. This journey began when Dougie came to us with his idea, but was unsure on colour. He requested a distressed leather, similar to his W108 we retrimmed, but brown this time. Torn between which shade of brown, we eventually whittled it down to two shades, a light and a dark brown. The next request was he wanted it to look like Ostrich leather, which is very different to your normal automotive leathers. UK Hide were able to get the chosen leather debossed, making it look like Ostrich leather. The team at UK Hide really are a delight to work with and the results speak for themselves. Simply the best.

Another wild spec is the "carpets" for this truck. We tried offering Dougie some box weave carpets amongst other common ones we normally use, but as you can imagine there's a pattern forming here... if its common or the "usual", Dougie was not interested. Resulting to probably the most rogue request we have ever had for carpet, Seagrass weave carpets. To you or me, we would probably assume this material would be used for picnic baskets, and probably is. That aside, we made it work and got it laid down with some matching Ostrich leather binding.

SLR HDK | Lasering

By Harry Pitcher • August 4, 2025
As mentioned in the Seat section, all of our lasering was accomplished by Chris and Marc from Formation Industries. The tartan pattern was a perfect replica, even the shape and texture of a real piece of tartan material was achieved... somehow, but that's Formation Industries. We have since had samples come through with this pattern in a variety of colours which we now offer as part of any retrims. We are not limited to replicating tartan, but have previously recreated houndstooth which was lasered into distressed leather for another customer. Got a pattern in mind? get in touch and we can make it happen. Not only did Formation Industries laser our seats, but this pattern was repeated onto the headlining and door cards. The dashboard saw multiple SRS Airbag emblems lasered into the dash top and lower dash panels. The floor mats also feature "SLR HDK" logos repeatedly creating a pattern.

SLR HDK | Steering Wheel

By Harry Pitcher • August 4, 2025
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.
