Start with your model, year and a photo of the look you have in mind.

Start with the change you want

A different exterior

A single detail can be enough. A matching lip and side skirts give the lower body a different profile; a wrap or paint change makes a much larger visual change. Choose the overall look before buying separate parts.

Body styling and trim
Bumpers, grilles, spoilers and skirts need to match the exact body and bumper version. If you are choosing a body kit, explore our body kit fitting and finishing options.
Paint, wrapping and decals
Choose a colour and finish across the areas you want changed. A full repaint, exterior-only colour change and vinyl wrap involve different preparation and leave different parts of the original finish visible. A wrap follows the surface beneath it, so dents and damaged paint need assessing before film is fitted.
One detail or a complete look
Mirror caps, roof accents and selected trim can be combined with a larger project. A reference photograph helps explain the result, but the available parts and finish still need to suit your car.
Automotive upholstery materials and colour choices

A cabin that feels like yours

Interior changes can mean new seat material, a different colour scheme or matching door inserts and armrests. Choose the areas you notice every day before extending the work to the whole cabin.

Fabric, synthetic leather and genuine leather have different prices and finishes. Stitching, grain and colour should work together. Our upholstery service covers the detailed repair and retrim choices, including seats, headliners and interior trim.

Car modification costs

Put a budget to the idea

These interior retrim prices give you a useful starting point. They cover the stated upholstery work, not a complete modification package.

Exterior styling is priced from the parts list, fitting work and finish. The cost of an unpainted kit alone will not cover preparing, painting and installing it.

All figures below include 5% VAT.

Fabric seat retrim
AED 1,750–1,950
Up to five seats re-covered in fabric.
Synthetic leather seat retrim
AED 2,450–2,700
Up to five seats re-covered, including a fabric-to-synthetic-leather change.
Full interior retrim
From AED 4,400
Seats, door cards, armrests and trim in one design.

Guide prices for the listed work. Vehicle size, material grade and seat features affect the total. Damaged foam or frames, extra electrical work, exterior parts and authority charges are separate unless included in your written estimate.

Get the fit right before the finish

A painted part still needs to sit properly on the car. Bumper and trim pieces should be test-fitted before their final finish, allowing gaps, brackets and access points to be addressed while adjustments are possible.

For a colour change, decide whether the work includes door shuts, panel edges and other areas visible when the car is open. Agree the finish using a physical sample where available. A colour on a phone screen is a starting reference.

Allow time for parts and finishing

Ordering parts, preparation, trial fitting and paint or adhesive curing can take longer than final installation. The booking should allow for the selected materials and any parts still in transit. Collection instructions will depend on the paint, film or adhesive used.

Keep the everyday details working

A modification should be planned around the features already fitted to your car and the places you drive. These details belong in the initial discussion.

Ramps, doors and access
A lower lip changes the clearance at the front. New skirts must leave doors, jacking points and necessary access usable. Think about your parking ramp before choosing the deepest design.
Cameras, sensors and lights
Replacement grilles and bumpers must account for fitted cameras, parking sensors and other driver-assistance equipment. Relocation, compatible brackets or manufacturer-specified calibration may add work.
Seat features and controls
Retrimming needs to preserve seat movement, ventilation and heating where fitted. Airbag seams and covers are safety features, so the upholstery design must suit the seat construction.

Wheels, lighting and performance requests

Send the exact product or change you are considering. Matching a wheel’s diameter is not enough. Its width and offset affect how it sits in the wheel arch, and it must clear the fitted brakes. Include the wheel specification and tyre size with your car’s details. An electrical accessory also needs to work with the car’s existing equipment.

Suspension changes, exhaust work, tuning and engine or transmission conversions need a separate discussion about the vehicle, intended use and permitted work. Availability is confirmed for the individual project. A styling package does not include these changes or promise extra power.

Planning your project

Can I modify just one part of the car?

Yes. An interior retrim, selected exterior trim or one styling part can be a project on its own. Share the result you want so the part and finish can be matched to the rest of the car.

Can I bring parts I have already bought?

Ask about fitting before bringing or ordering the part. Send its brand, part number and fitment information alongside your car’s model and year. Work and any fitting-only terms depend on the part’s suitability and condition.

Can the changes be reversed later?

That depends on the attachment and preparation. A bolt-on part may be removable, while drilled holes, trimmed panels or a repaint remain after the part is removed. Paint condition and any previous respray also affect the risks of later wrap removal. Discuss reversibility before work starts and ask which original parts can be retained.

Should I tell my insurer about modifications?

Check your policy and tell your insurer about the planned changes before proceeding. Cover and any conditions depend on the modification and the insurer; a workshop quote is not confirmation of insurance cover.

What should I send for a modification quote?

Your car’s make, model and year, photos of its current condition and a reference for the look you want are enough to begin. Include any parts you already have and the areas you want changed. Detailed fitment, material and finishing costs may need an in-person assessment.
