Ferrari F355 Full Retrim

Harry Pitcher • November 11, 2022

We are excited to showcase another project which has been completed at d:class automotive recently. This Ferrari 355 had a sympathetic retrim, by this we mean not everything was retrimmed in brand new OEM leather. Our customer wanted to keep as much of the interior as original as possible so that is what we accomplished.


But before we move on, here are some images of the interior's condition before we got started.

Before images


The Seats are always the most important part of any retrim like this, so with our team of expert trimmers, we got to work recreating these seats from scratch.

 

Ferrari Beige Nappa leather was selected for the seats to perfectly match the OEM leather from UK Hide. We also matched the thread used to this leather from our own collection of threads from d:class autoshop.


Other areas of the car received new foam backing as they had worn away leaving the leather looking baggy over time. The dashboard and door cards are prime examples of this. But fortunately, all is well now as we carefully removed the leather without damaging it, took the remains of the foam off and replaced to OEM specification.


Keeping with the interior, the handbrake cover and tray holder have been retrimmed as they were damaged. The dashboard airbag panel had become baggy so this was also retrimmed with an airbag deboss logo. Another item is the dashboard binnacle which had some wear markings near the stitching.


Our customer also requested for a new hood, there wasn't anything specifically wrong with the black hood, but a blue one to match the body colour was preferred. This is the same story for the seat belts as they have been re-webbed in navy blue.

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.

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.
