Lamborghini Repair Solutions From Foreign Affairs Motorwerks In Pompano Beach
Linen Suits and Countachs, Key Lime Green, and the Keys, it’s hard to imagine South Florida without thinking of Lamborghini. While the styling of each new generation is still unmistakable Lamborghini, brings something new to the table each time. With Lamborghini’s manual transmission zero driver’s aids days in their rear view, you may be asking the same question as many other owners, “What repair solutions are available to my aging Lambo?” Well fear not, as Foreign Affairs Motorwerks has you covered!
Preserving Your Lamborghini
One of the best ways to continue enjoying your Lambo for many years is by actively undertaking maintenance and protection tasks that will preserve your car’s condition. While you could lock your Murcialago away, 100% of the joy of owning one is driving it. ​​​​​​
Following Factory Maintenance Guidelines
Every Lamborghini has a maintenance guideline that best suits it depending on the age, engine configuration, and equipment. A general Lamborghini Service guideline, will do wonders to keep your engine and drivetrain happy, but if you want to take your car to the next level, discuss a vehicle-specific maintenance plan with your mechanic. They will be able to recommend something based on your driving style, the age of the car, and the mileage, and may also recommend
thicker oil, or more frequent services.
Paint Protection & Detailing
Auto detailing and paint protection has become more popular as people look for new ways to keep their favorite cars in pristine condition. A detail is more than just a clean, it’s a repair procedure. Detailing your Lamborghini removes all the sea salt and dirt that normal car washes miss. It also removes contaminants that embed themselves in the paint, such as soot and brake dust, restoring your paint to factory-like condition.
Imperfections like swirls and scratches are also corrected and repaired during a detail by using polish and in some cases touching up the base and clear coats. With all that work to make your paint look like new, it makes sense to protect it. Ceramic coating, paint protective wraps, and glazes all work to keep contaminants from embedding themselves in the clearcoat, as well as protect from harmful UV rays that may cause paint to fade and leather to crack.
Repair Solutions For Your Lamborghini
Sometimes, no matter what you do, there is no other option than having to repair or replace a part on your Lamborghini, and as these cars age, replacement parts are becoming harder to come by which can sometimes make repairing your Lambo more challenging.
Parts Cross Sourcing
While Lamborghini’s are unique cars, some of their parts aren’t. Let’s take the Murcielago for example, a car that is still a firm favourite of many enthusiasts, where Lamborghini themselves have stopped producing many of the common replacement parts.
However, some parts were sourced from other manufacturers, such as the side markers from Ford, the Climate control module from MG-Rover, and the alternator from a Seat Alhambra.
The introduction of the Audi R8 meant that many of the drivetrain components for the Gallardo and Huracan could still be ordered from an Audi Dealership, and most famously when then Diablo went from pop-up headlights to fixed headlights, they borrowed them from the Nissan 300ZX.
Custom Parts
One major benefit of these cars being made in large parts of carbon fiber and fiberglass, in the case of some older models, is there are enthusiast communities out there that continue to make high-quality replacement parts long after Lamborhghini has stopped.
Carbon fiber molds can be reused and don’t require the same heavy machinery that steel parts do. Some companies go as far as to create carbon fiber replacement parts that were originally plastic such as door cars, to add even more of the Lambo flair to your car. CNC companies have also begun recreating the trademark billet aluminum filler cap lid, a piece that is often lost or forgotten at gas stations.
Engine Rebuilds
A Lamborghini V12 isn’t the same beast as your BMW’s inline 6. While finding a replacement engine for your BMW tends to be the most logical decision for both wallet and effort, if your Lambo develops an engine or transmission issue, it is often more worthwhile to rebuild the failed component.
While you can source high-quality aftermarket components that match the original for strength and compression, a talented engine builder can take your Lambo to a whole new level, building it to handle higher revs, higher compression, or even forced induction.
Naked Builds
A common trend developing amongst owners, especially those with Turbo kits fitted are Naked Builds. A naked build removes sections of the rear bumper, rear valance, and even some of the arches to expose more of the mechanical components, showing off the beauty of a Lamborghini’s engineering.
