At Kartal Auto, we specialize in luxury automotive restoration, and our recent work on a Bentley Mulsanne interior design project exemplifies our commitment to excellence. This iconic vehicle came to us with a series of interior issues that required precision and expert craftsmanship. Below, we outline the issues we identified during the restoration process and the bespoke solutions we implemented to bring the interior back to its former glory.
Issues Identified:
1. Worn and Faded Leather Upholstery
- Problem: Over time, the leather upholstery on the seats, door panels, and armrests showed signs of wear, including fading, cracking, and stiffness. This was particularly noticeable in high-touch areas, where the leather had lost its softness and sheen.
- Solution: We replaced the worn leather with premium-grade, custom-dyed leather to match the original color. Our team restored the seats and panels with meticulous hand-stitching and applied a leather conditioner to rehydrate the material, restoring its natural texture and shine.
2. Dull and Scratched Wood Veneer
- Problem: The luxurious wood veneer trim on the dashboard, center console, and door panels had become scratched, discolored, and dull due to sun exposure and years of use.
- Solution: We carefully refinished the wood veneer to restore its deep, rich color. Where the veneer was beyond restoration, we sourced authentic replacement wood in the same finish as the original. The wood was hand-polished to a high-gloss, giving it a smooth and vibrant finish.
3. Stained and Worn Carpets
- Problem: The luxurious wool carpets showed visible signs of staining, wear, and discoloration from use over the years.
- Solution: After thoroughly cleaning the carpets, we replaced the heavily worn sections with bespoke wool carpeting that matched the original look and feel. Our custom-fit carpets were designed to blend seamlessly with the rest of the interior, restoring the aesthetic and adding to the cabin’s comfort.
4. Sagging and Stained Headliner
- Problem: The headliner had sagged in several areas, and staining from years of use was evident. This affected the overall luxurious feel of the cabin, especially when viewed from the rear seats.
- Solution: We carefully removed the old headliner and replaced it with premium Alcantara fabric, known for its durability and soft touch. The new headliner was installed with precision to restore the sleek, smooth appearance that the Bentley Mulsanne is known for.
5. Seat Foam Compression
- Problem: The foam padding in the seats had become compressed over time, leading to a loss of comfort and support.
- Solution: We replaced the seat foam with high-density, ergonomic foam that restored the seats’ original contours. The new foam not only enhanced comfort but also contributed to better support for both the driver and passengers during long drives.
