Set UITableViewCell frame with margins in Swift

I am attempting to make a UITableViewCell with left and right margins/insets. I have made this in the past with Objective-C using the following code:

- (void)setFrame:(CGRect)frame {
    frame.origin.x += 25;
    frame.size.width -= 2 * 25;
    [super setFrame:frame];
}

This code doesn't directly translate to Swift, as now I have to override the public frame variable, but placing this code in the setter of that variable has no effect. How would I get the margins to appear using this, or a similar technique in Swift?

This is the Swift that I have attempted:

private var otherFrame: CGRect = CGRectZero
override public var frame: CGRect {
    get {
        return otherFrame
    }
    set {
        otherFrame = frame
        otherFrame.origin.x += 25
        otherFrame.size.width -= 2 * 25
    }
}

The direct translation of the Objective-C code would be:

override var frame: CGRect {
    get {
        return super.frame
    }
    set {
        var frame = newValue
        frame.origin.x += 25
        frame.size.width -= 2 * 25

        super.frame = frame
    }
}

There's no need for the additional property. You use the implicit value newValue in the setter.

You can tell you cell to not follow the margins of the tableView this way:

cell.preservesSuperviewLayoutMargins = false

And set the margins of your cell this way:

cell.layoutMargins = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: 25, bottom: 0, right: 25)
