Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet Houndstooth Retrim

Porsche 911 Carrera GTS  'Heritage interior' upgrade

Our customer reached out to us with their Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet, the daily to their GT3 RS, and tasked us with upgrading their interior with some lovely black and white Houndstooth. Those keen Porsche followers will know that this is an option from factory, known as the 'Heritage Pack', featuring Houndstooth seat centres front and rear, door card centres, and a tan leather dashboard panel. Quite a hefty optional extra in regards to price, but we were able to achieve our customers requirements at a fraction of the cost.

The original interior was great as it was, we think Porsche actually make some of the best OEM interiors on the market. This one however, was eeking out for something a little extra, that added bit of spice to complete the interior. We believe adding Houndstooth to a full tan interior like this is the most effective use of the material. The tan appears bolder and more vibrant when accompanied with the contrast black and white Houndstooth pattern. Not forgetting the black leather on the dash and door card tops, that tie it all together and make the interior feel very premium and intentional.

Houndstooth, a woven pattern originating in Scotland, became a staple of classic European style before entering the automotive world. Porsche adopted it, originally known as “Pepita” in the 1960s and featured in early Porsche 911s. It offered a lightweight, sporty alternative to full leather while adding a distinctive visual contrast. Today, it’s a heritage detail loved by enthusiasts for its connection to Porsche’s golden era. Retrimming interiors in houndstooth is a great way to blend modern builds with that timeless, motorsport-inspired look.

Once the seats were completed and fitted back into the car, we were treated to an incredible sunset. So, we took the opportunity to capture the vehicle during golden hour, a rarity in the UK.



The car looks absolutely incredible and has been transformed by trimming just the seat centres and door card centres. Enjoy.
