Ferrari 328 Drivers Seat Retrim

Harry Pitcher • February 28, 2022

A drivers seat for a Ferrari 328 in at d:class HQ for a full retrim. As you can see the before and after comparison is night and day. The seats had been previously connolised and additionally the leather had ripped in places. The debossed prancing horse had totally lost its detail and lastly there was evidence of water damage.

Our customer requested for the seats to be retrimmed in the same OEM colour from new. Even though the seats had been connolised which covered up the original colour, we were able to find areas which avoided the paint to match the new leather to.


We often receive requests for leather connolising, however we tend to avoid these jobs as we prefer to offer permanent solutions as apposed to temporary. Connolising never looks convincing enough as a retrim so we would hate to not meet expectations.

Once the patterns for the seat had been made, Laurence who led this project, set to stitching the seat centre rectangle pattern. Then once all the other panels had been sewn together, this created a cover that was then fitted and hog ringed nice and tight. Seat plastics were also trimmed resulting in a "paint like" finish. The headrests were created separately and debossed with a new prancing horse. We hold plenty of stamps for Ferrari, Porsche, Recaro and other brands, so we had the exact stamp required on file.


The results speak for themselves...

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.

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.
