Default 2008 Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640 Roadster

2008 Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster Restoration by Richie's Custom Detailing and Auto Concierge.

I flew Bob out to work with me on a few cars. The day before he was scheduled to leave I got the call to restore the appearance on this 2008 Murcielago LP 640 Roadster.

So I changed Bob's ticket and extended his stay.

Bob was very instrumental in getting this car done as it was going to be shipped out of state and the deadline was tight.

Total time spent 60+ hours collectively.

Upon initial inspection it was easy to see how severely this car had been savaged.

Front end and rockers were wrapped as well.

As it was delivered.

Taillights needed some work as well.





DA sand scratches.

Nice work! Whomever did all that damage before you should not be touching a car. With all of those DA sand scratches I would not even let near my Silverado much less a lambo.
