Alcantara retrim wins ‘Best interior’
Early Edition was held on sunday the 16th of April this year, and we’ve been building a car with Reflex Autodesign to reveal at the show. The car was a Volkswagen MK5 Golf which had extensive body work and interior work done before. But the new owner wanted a full Alcantara retrim.
The car was painted a completely different colour, and the car interior had a complete retrim from Leather/Alcantara to full Alcantara.
Every single panel in the car was retrimmed in dark grey Alcantara with a contrasting red stitch, from the dash to the kick panels in the footwells.
The car originally had Porsche seats, but as the owner wanted something different and he sourced a set of Lamborghini Murciélago
seats and these were also trimmed in full Alcantara. The headrests were embossed with the original Lamborghini logo to keep things all in check.

Together with Reflex Auto design we built a raised floor to hide the compressors, only revealing the custom BBS wheel and air tank. We then added an extra panel and trimmed this in diamond stitching to match the front seats and give the floor more depth.

This car will be at all major shows this year so make sure you have a good look around it. We are really happy with how this car interior retrim turned out and the attention it received.
