Mercedes-Benz R107 Seat Retrim

Harry Pitcher • January 24, 2023

Out With The Old, Retrimmed In The New

Another devoted d:class customer, this Mercedes-Benz was scheduled for both front seats to be retrimmed because they had previously been retrimmed improperly. The material is inaccurate to OEM spec, the piping is too big, the shoulder stitching is incorrect, and the flutes are not all the same size or spaced evenly. The Vinyl is not that of Mercedes-Benz, so this shows that the seats have previously been retrimmed. The customer decided to treat their pride and joy with a Mercedes-Benz OEM leather upgrade.

Following the customer's selection of the preferred material, we assign our extremely skilled staff the tasks of disassembling the seats, creating new patterns from scratch, sewing them all together, adding new foams to the seat centre flutes, fitting the covers, and meticulously reinstalling the seats into the vehicle.

This Mercedes-Benz R107 was originally from the USA, but has been brought over to the UK, had the headlights replaced, and recently received a fresh respray.


For the seats, we have used classic Mercedes-Benz Brasil leather with perforated centres. The customer is over the moon with the results, and upon collection has decided they want to book in with us again to get the carpets replaced as these have faded over time and appear almost green. We look forward to having this delightful R107 back with us in the near future.

Porsche 918 Spyder Steering Wheel Retrim

By Harry Pitcher • April 23, 2026
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.

Ferrari 328 GTS Interior Repairs

By Harry Pitcher • April 22, 2026
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!
