As Mercedes-Benz specialists at d:class, we were very excited when this job came through our email inbox. Not only a fantastic example of a W112, but a modified one. Those who know us will be familiar with our roots in the modified car scene, so this job is right up our street.


This is a similar job to one we completed in recent years, a W108 belonging to our good friend, Dougie, with another large Mercedes-Benz on airride suspension with a custom d:class interior. Feel free to check that out here.

This is how the vehicle arrived to us, with a near stripped interior, but still featuring the previously retrimmed seats.


The job was simple, create a complete bespoke interior which featuring the correct basket weave seat centres, fabricate new door cards and a centre console, create and install a new headlining, and brand new carpets.


The leather used in this retrim was black Muirhead Lustrana which is some of the best leather we get the pleasure of working with. The basket weave seat centres were created with the same leather. Custom flutes were made with our selection of foams to create plump yet reinforced seat centres. The door cards, arm rests, B pillars, centre console, parcel shelf, and more were all retrimmed in this luscious material.


The Headlining was custom-made from black vinyl which covers all the way back to the rear parcel shelf, doubling as a C pillar. We fitted the woods for our customer which are found on the A pillars, door tops, and dashboard.

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!
