Mercedes-Benz SL custom interior by Vilner

Vilner has revamped the interior of the Mercedes-Benz SL by infusing a crocodile theme. After fully restoring an Alfa Romeo RZ, Bulgarian "luxury tuning specialists" at Vilner focused their attention on the Mercedes-Benz SL's interior. This Crocodile Dundee-approved cabin makes use of five exotic materials, with the seats wrapped around in brown Alcantara, Nappa leather and crocodile leather with contrast stitching.

Various brown wooden applications have been applied, while the plastic elements and seatbelts have received a grey finish. Alcantara was used for the rearview mirror and ceiling, along with brown-grey floor mats and carpet. Vilner hand-painted the gearshift lever and some of the plastics, plus they installed DLS speakers and amplifiers.

Carlex Design Europe Subaru Cosworth Impreza STI CS400 with redesigned interior

Carlex Design Europe has revamped the interior cabin of a Subaru Cosworth Impreza STI CS400. By using a lot of red leather, Alcantara and carbon fiber, the people working at Carlex have given the Impreza STI CS400 "Wild Beast" a whole new look. The seats are wrapped around in red and black leather with red stitching which is the same theme used for the doors. The steering wheel and gear shifter are black with red stitching, while the dash, pillars and roof are covered in Alcantara.

The 2.5-liter turbocharged engine was left untouched so it delivers the same 395 hp (295 kW) and 398 lb-ft (540 Nm) of torque, which is enough to propel the car to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.7 seconds and a limited top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).

2012 Nissan GT-R by Vilner

Vilner has prepared a customized interior cabin for the 2012 Nissan GT-R. The program starts out with a "starry sky" headliner featuring LEDs and continues with the use of leather and Alcantara in black and crimson colors. Seats are black with red bands on the borders and come with red stitching for creating rhomboid forms.

The same technique was used by Vilner for the doors, ceiling, steering wheel and other panels. All plastic elements have received a black piano varnish look, while the rearview mirror is wrapped in Alcantara. The steering wheel also has a few elements in black piano varnish, along with the center console and door panels that have red bands. The owner of this 2012 Nissan GT-R also wanted an iPad with a stand for it.

For the exterior they have fitted a matte grey body wrap and a gloss black finish for the front grille, diffuser, trunk spoiler and alloys. The most dramatic changes can be found inside the cabin where they have really outdone themselves this time. All surfaces have been reupholstered in black and brown leather with Alcantara, with the seats wrapped in leather with elegant diamond stitching on the shoulders and base. We also find the micro-suede material adorning the pillars, roof headliner, dashboard and rear view mirror. Into the front headrests Vilner has stitched the customer's initials, while running along the roof lining's length is contrasting black leather.
