At Kartal Auto, we pride ourselves on delivering superior automotive care, with attention to detail and precision. Recently, we had the privilege of working on a Maserati Grecale, fitting a range of premium accessories designed to elevate both its aesthetics and performance. During the fitting process, we encountered a few challenges. Below, we’ve outlined the issues we found and the comprehensive solutions our expert team applied to ensure the final result was flawless.
Issue Found:
1. Issue: Misalignment of Exterior Accessories (Side Skirts & Rear Spoiler)
While fitting the custom-designed side skirts and rear spoiler, we noticed slight misalignment with the body lines of the Grecale. This caused a gap between the parts and the vehicle’s original panels, which could potentially affect the car’s appearance and aerodynamic performance.
Solution: Our team re-adjusted the fitment using specialized tools to ensure that each component aligned perfectly with the vehicle’s body lines. We took precise measurements and used high-precision jigs to guarantee a seamless integration. The accessories were re-fitted to enhance both the look and functionality of the vehicle.
2. Issue: Insufficient Clearance for Wheel Arch Extensions
The wheel arch extensions provided with the accessory package were designed to enhance the vehicle’s aggressive stance, but during installation, we found that there was insufficient clearance between the extensions and the tires. This could result in rubbing during turns or under heavy load, leading to potential damage.
Solution: Our team carefully analyzed the suspension setup and recalculated the necessary clearance adjustments. We modified the wheel arch extensions for a perfect fit, ensuring that they provided the desired aesthetic without interfering with the tire’s movement. This ensured both the look and the functionality of the accessory enhancements.
3. Issue: Electrical Compatibility with New Lighting Accessories
We fitted the Maserati Grecale with upgraded LED lighting accessories, including dynamic turn signals and underbody lighting. However, we noticed that the new lighting system was not syncing with the vehicle’s existing electrical system, resulting in inconsistent lighting behavior.
Solution: Meta Mechanics’ electrical specialists worked meticulously to rewire the new lighting accessories to match the vehicle’s electronic architecture. We installed high-quality relay kits and integrated the lighting system with the car’s existing CAN bus system. This ensured that the lights operated seamlessly with the Grecale’s original systems, providing both style and safety.
4. Issue: Incompatibility of Custom Floor Mats with Sensor System
The custom-fit floor mats we received for the Maserati Grecale were designed with luxury in mind. However, we discovered that the mats interfered with the vehicle’s built-in sensors, which monitor the cabin environment. This could potentially trigger warning lights or affect the vehicle’s climate control.
Solution: After carefully inspecting the sensor placement, we modified the custom mats by creating tailored cutouts to ensure the sensors were not obstructed. This allowed the mats to fit perfectly without compromising the vehicle’s functionality. Additionally, we ensured that the mats were securely installed to prevent movement while driving.
5. Issue: Defective Grille Surround Accessory
The high-performance grille surround accessory was found to have a minor defect in the finish, which could impact both the aesthetics and overall quality of the installation.
Solution: We immediately replaced the defective part with a new, flawless piece from the manufacturer. Our team conducted a full inspection and re-fit to ensure that the new grille surround was perfectly aligned with the car’s front end. A final quality check was performed to guarantee that the finish matched the Maserati Grecale’s luxurious design.
