At Kartal Auto, we specialize in restoring and customizing luxury car interiors to perfection. Our recent project, an interior design restoration for an Aston Martin DB9, allowed us to work on a truly iconic vehicle. Throughout the restoration, we discovered several key issues that needed attention. Here’s how we addressed these challenges and enhanced the car’s interior to reflect the true luxury it deserves.
Key Issues Identified & Our Expert Solutions
1. Worn-Out Leather Upholstery
Issue: The leather upholstery had visible signs of wear, including cracks, fading, and discoloration, diminishing the overall look of the interior.
Solution: We reupholstered the seats, door panels, and other leather surfaces with premium Nappa leather, restoring the soft texture and rich color. To ensure long-term durability, we applied a UV-protective coating to protect against future sun damage and fading.
2. Dated Center Console Design
Issue: The center console design was beginning to look outdated, with worn-out leather and a general lack of modern appeal.
Solution: We completely redesigned the center console by reupholstering it in luxury leather and introducing sleek new trim, while maintaining the car’s signature aesthetic. This update provided a more contemporary, sophisticated look while staying true to Aston Martin’s heritage.
3. Discolored Dashboard
Issue: The dashboard had areas of discoloration and fading from years of exposure to the sun and general wear.
Solution: We carefully restored the dashboard with high-quality leather and trim that matched the original specifications. We also applied a conditioning treatment to ensure the leather retained its supple feel and rich color.
4. Sagging Headliner
Issue: The headliner was sagging in certain areas, making the cabin look less refined.
Solution: We replaced the old headliner with a luxurious Alcantara fabric that offered a cleaner, tighter fit, while also providing a more upscale appearance. This transformation gave the cabin an elegant, refreshed feel.
5. Worn Carpets & Floor Mats
Issue: The carpeting had accumulated stains and signs of heavy use, detracting from the interior’s luxurious atmosphere.
Solution: We replaced the carpets and floor mats with custom-fit, high-density luxury carpeting, ensuring a perfect fit and a premium look. The new carpets were treated with a stain-resistant finish to keep them looking pristine for years to come.
