At d:class we love rare and special vehicles and are fortunate enough to work with some of the world's most exclusive vehicles. This car is a prime example of this being only 1 of 40 RHD Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM AMG's ever made, and only 1 of 6 as a convertible. Originally it was planned to have 80 produced, but this was drastically reduced to just 6. From our research, this may be the only example in black.

The Job; So this CLK DTM AMG came to d:class for a few things. Firstly, The front seats and rear seat pads needed a retrim as the customer desired a colour change from the OEM red leather centres, to a more sophisticated grey Alcantara. The leather was also replaced for a like-for-like grey nappa leather with grey stitching.


Next up was the soft top hood, This is no longer a service we offer, but we honoured it for this vehicle as it is going to MB World, to be put on display for the public to admire. This was just a simple black OEM hood replacement as the previous one had some signs of wear.


The OEM wheel was black nappa leather with red stitching, but keeping with the more mature look this CLK DTM AMG now showcases, this was replaced with black Alcantara and black stitching. We think it really improves the interior, and in some way makes it feel more race-inspired.


Final touch was a brand new set of floor mats, featuring the AMG logo in a silver stitch to match the OEM ones which had become very worn through years of use. Matching OEM carpet was used so these fit right in, as they should.

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!
