I've been Nappa'd or A Homage to Howard?

[whitenemesis]

Just collected the car from d:class automotive where it had a complete re-trim in two tone nappa leather. MB Designo Imperial Red and Bentlet Beluga black.

Really very pleased with quality of the work and the quality of the leather, so smooth and soft

Pictures below have come out a bit pink but it looks much more subtle red in the flesh

Oh, the rear seats are now heated too!

That looks sooooooo nice was it exBENZive? How long did they take?

 

[Howard]

Good work , looks great !

Hello

The quality of work looks good (colour....not my choice but looks good)

Be interested to see how the leather wears in 6 months say.

Hmm ... wonder if they could fit heated seats to my R129? I was thinking of using them to replace the hood windows anyway.

Very reasonable, considering the quality of the leathers and the workmanship. Took them 4.5 days

Phat!

I'm sure they could they used a German manufactured generic kit. Could fit any seat

What about the switches - how do they look?

Or are they just wired in with the fronts?

Switches are circular about the size of a 5p (slightly bigger), illuminated and three positions Off (centre) and two heat settings. They heaters are timed so can't be left on. Mine are wired through the rear power socket and the switches are on the lower B pillar (so they don't get kicked)

 

[Bobby Dazzler]

Wow, check you out!!

That's a dramatic difference!!

 

[ringway]

Very smart.

Probably smells as good as it looks too.

 

[JasM]

It looks fantastic !

 

[Bobby Dazzler]

Not tempted by the Gucci and Louis Vuitton fabrics shown on cars in the gallery??!!

Edit: Having browsed the d:class gallery, yours looks even better than the rest!!

Looks a very nice job !

 

[GrahamC230K]

That's very red! I like it. Not sure I would ever be brave enough to had such an interior in my own car, but I do admire it none the less. Glad it came out well and you like it.

 

[APM]

looks good indeed,my drivers A pillar needs a retrim after scuffing it with my rod bag.

 

[ramit]

the seats look good (not keen on the color tho) , but to be honest I'd not be happy with the ruffling, and squinty stitching of the door card - I'd be getting them to fix that for sure
