At Kartal Auto, we are thrilled to have completed an exceptional Starlight headliner installation for the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera. The Starlight feature, with its mesmerizing display of fiber-optic lights embedded in the headliner, transforms the cabin into an ethereal night sky, enhancing the vehicle’s luxury experience. However, during the installation process, our experts identified several issues that could have impacted the performance and overall aesthetic of the Starlight feature. We acted swiftly to resolve these issues, ensuring that the Starlight installation met the high standards of the DBS Superleggera.
Issue found
1. Faulty Fiber-Optic Wiring
Issue:
Upon inspecting the vehicle, we discovered that the fiber-optic wiring system, which powers the Starlight effect, had some areas of wear and damage. Some wires were exposed or misaligned, and certain fibers were not providing consistent light, resulting in uneven star patterns on the headliner.
Solution:
Our technicians meticulously replaced the damaged or worn-out fiber-optic cables with high-quality replacements. We ensured that the new fibers were precisely aligned and positioned to deliver an even and flawless lighting effect. Each fiber was carefully threaded into place, ensuring that the Starlight feature would shine uniformly across the headliner, providing a beautiful night-sky effect.
2. Insufficient Light Intensity in Some Areas
Issue:
We noticed that some areas of the headliner did not have the desired intensity of light, making the starlight effect appear dim in certain sections. This inconsistency could detract from the overall visual impact, especially in low-light conditions.
Solution:
To address the issue, we upgraded the light source powering the fiber-optic system. By replacing the original light box with a more powerful and efficient LED source, we enhanced the brightness and uniformity of the Starlight effect. We calibrated the light intensity to ensure that every section of the headliner glowed with consistent brilliance, creating a truly magical experience.
3. Unevenly Spaced Fiber Optics
Issue:
The spacing between the fiber-optic fibers was not consistent across the entire headliner. This uneven spacing caused some sections to appear denser in “stars” than others, which disrupted the desired celestial effect.
Solution:
Our team carefully removed the previous fiber-optic installation and rethreaded the fibers with exact spacing in mind. Using advanced techniques, we ensured that each fiber was perfectly positioned, creating an even, symmetrical pattern of stars across the headliner. This refined approach guarantees that the stars sparkle uniformly and maintain their beautiful visual appeal throughout the entire headliner.
4. Inconsistent Star Patterns
Issue:
The previous installation of the Starlight feature had irregular star patterns, with some sections having larger “stars” and others appearing as faint pinpricks. This inconsistency in size disrupted the aesthetic and made the effect appear unnatural.
Solution:
We used precision tools to correct the distribution of fibers, making sure that the “stars” were more natural in size and distribution. We also adjusted the placement of the fiber-optic points to ensure that the “stars” appeared more randomly scattered, mimicking the natural beauty of the night sky. Our team took care to ensure that the star patterns were not only visually appealing but also aligned with the overall elegance and luxury of the DBS Superleggera.
5. Poorly Fitted Headliner
Issue:
The headliner itself was not properly fitted in some areas, causing slight bulging and a misalignment with the vehicle’s interior. This misalignment affected both the aesthetics and functionality of the Starlight effect.
Solution:
Our experts carefully removed the headliner and re-fitted it to its proper position, ensuring a snug, seamless fit that complemented the elegant interior of the DBS Superleggera. We paid attention to every corner and edge, securing the headliner without compromising its structure. Once the headliner was properly reinstalled, the Starlight effect was flawlessly aligned with the interior design, contributing to a refined, polished look.
