Rolls-Royce Ghost 2010: Restoration and a Deep 2026-Style Restyling
Our latest project at Kubay Design arrived under difficult circumstances: a 2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost, damaged by an act of vandalism. Our task is twofold — fully restore the vehicle to its original condition, and simultaneously carry out a deep Rolls-Royce Ghost restyling inspired by the 2026 model generation, giving this Ghost a genuine second life.
Repairing the Damage: From Broken Glass to a Disabled Multimedia System
The vandalism left its mark across several areas of the car — a shattered rear-left window, damaged surrounding moldings, and a broken triangular trim piece near the rear-left quarter panel. Because Kubay Design works not only in tuning but also in premium OEM parts sourcing, body repair, and painting, we’re able to source, order, and install every replacement component in-house. The necessary moldings and trim pieces have already been secured, and restoration work is progressing steadily.
Modernizing the Multimedia and Camera System
A further complication came from the car’s multimedia unit — an attempted theft left the head unit effectively destroyed. We’re replacing the outdated system entirely with a modern multimedia setup featuring Apple CarPlay and other current-generation functions, a significant upgrade in everyday usability for a car built in 2010. The vehicle also lacked a rear-view camera, so we’re adding both front and rear cameras as part of the refresh. In parallel, our team is carrying out full body repair and restoring the wheels, which had also suffered visible scratches and damage.
The Core of the Project: A Full Restyling from 2010 to 2026
While the vandalism repair is essential, the true scope of this build lies in a comprehensive restyling that reimagines the Ghost’s entire body in the image of the current-generation Rolls-Royce.
A Completely New Front End
Virtually every front-end panel is being replaced — a new hood, front fenders, headlights, radiator grille, and front bumper, along with a new extending mechanism for the Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament.
Reworking the Body Sides and Rear Section
The side profile presents a unique engineering challenge. The body structure of the current Rolls-Royce generation differs significantly from the 2010 model, so exterior panels can’t simply be swapped. Specific moldings must be integrated into the doors, requiring our team to rework the body panels themselves and adapt them to the new-generation design language. The rear of the car undergoes an equally serious reconstruction — a new rear bumper, reworked rear fenders (with sections of the original metal cut away and new panels welded in), new taillights, a refined trunk lid, and an updated exhaust system with new tips matching the new design.
Precision Paintwork from Our Own Studio
Painting is one of the most demanding parts of any restyling project of this caliber, which is why we operate our own in-house paint studio at Kubay Design. A Rolls-Royce of this level can’t simply be finished with an off-the-shelf factory color code — it demands a precisely custom-mixed shade. Our team is hand-blending a deep, rich black finish designed to complement the new-generation design language and bring this Ghost visually as close as possible to a modern Rolls-Royce.
Giving a Rolls-Royce Ghost a True Second Life
This isn’t simply a repair job. We’re restoring every element damaged in the vandalism, modernizing the multimedia and camera systems, refinishing the body and wheels, and carrying out a deep restyling that carries this Rolls-Royce Ghost from its 2010 origins into a design as close as possible to the 2026 generation.
