Ferrari 355 Full Retrim

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.
