Car restyling: what it is and why it's so popular

Car restyling is the process of modifying the appearance of a car to improve its appearance, functionality and safety. 

It can include the replacement of body parts, front and rear bumpers, headlights, grille and other elements. The palette, wheel design, trim elements and minor interior details are also changed. Restyling allows you to update an old car, giving it a modern and stylish look.

One of the reasons for the popularity of car restyling is cost savings. It is much cheaper for an automaker to update an existing model than to create a brand new one from scratch. Cars are constantly being improved. The most successful ones are updated every 5-7 years. This allows the company to keep its profit and reduce risks before launching a new model on the market. For car owners it is an opportunity not to buy a new car, but to refresh the appearance of their car and to realize the conceived idea by turning to professionals.

In addition, restyling allows you to take into account current design trends and capitalize on them. Changing the appearance of your car can attract more attention from customers and increase sales. For example, adding a new design element or using more modern materials in the interior can increase the value of the car when it is later sold.

It also allows you to correct deficiencies and improve a model’s performance. For example, improved headlights or a more efficient safety system can make a car more comfortable for the driver and passengers, while changing body parts can improve aerodynamics and overall performance. 

Depending on how major the changes are, there are conventionally three types of restyling

1. Facelifting. Minor changes to the interior and exterior

2. Redesign. Significant changes in appearance and interior, affecting the shape of the body, shape of seats, suspension settings, etc.

3. Technical modifications. Replacement of the main units of the vehicle with more efficient ones.

In general, it is a great way for car owners to update their car, make it more functional without having to buy a new one. Modern technologies and materials allow to carry out restyling qualitatively and effectively.
