what have people used to do this, paint or fabric ???
my head lining is marked and wont come clean. so thinking about doing it all black along with the other trims.

 

Don't know, but thinking about doing this myself

Was planning on recovering the headlining

Along with the top b pilers and c pilers

And dying the sunroof cover



All in black,


But would like to see what other have done 1st too

 

Bloody cossie head linings.I would be happy if the bloody thing wasnt saggy.

 

some lads on the rsoc have done there focus rs head linings in alcantara, looks smart

 

There's some die you can use but it only really goes dark grey, I used it on a customers mk4 golf , in the end I sprayed santin black over it and came up great , that good I did the transit too lol

 

A few of the saph boys have done this, getting the head lining out and recovering it with black material, the problem is the sunroof visor thingy, no saph every came with black head lining so on the visor its a matter of painting it black, does make the interior very dark though especially if you've got raven leather

I recently done mine but kept it grey

Any photos Charlie?

And what did you do, ie, remove the headlining completely, peal off the material and spray glue then recover?

 

Photos below bruv I took the head lining out complete and gave it to a local trimmer to re-cover the visor in my car was absolutely hanging so I sourced another clean one and fitted that

Day I picked it up



Fitted

 

Jimmy never actually seen the finished article in the flesh!
Was curious what that red material would have looked like????
Glad you chose this one in the end...
It has turned out sweeeeet!!! Looks factory fresh in there

 

how did you get it back in without creasing the shit out of it.

 

Am gonna be doing mine black soon. Got another headliner out of a lesser model Saph so gonna do that black. Was hoping to use something like alacantra.. There's a few done it on here to. Hopefully they'll be along soon....

 

Nice 1 Jaz thanks for the introduction to Bob proper craftsman hopefully see you down the club soon

Was a bit fiddly stripped out the rear seats complete and slide it out the boot, done the reverse when I re-fitted it

Nice 1
Bob is old skool! As you say proper craftsman, experienced and great to deal with.
Glad your happy with it.
Yes I'll see you at the meets as and when I can make them

 

I did mines a good few years ago now. Still looks well.
Used fabric and paint and did all the trims etc etc.
It does darken the interior compared to before, but I am ok with that.

 

Eigdoog.Did you do yours yourself.How did you do it.Did you buy some new cloth and use that.

 

Yeah i did it myself, just took the old one out but you have to strip it of the old foam stuff.



Then you are ready to glue down the new stuff, i went for a lining thats not fury like the last one.

This is with glue on





Its all from eBay, i used some spray glue that really does stick well!

Also i cleaned my plastics



Then just sprayed them black







Really bad pictures but you get the idea!

 

eigdoog got a link to the eBay seller for the material you used?

And what prep and paint did you use for the plastics?



Looks spot on tho

 

I think this was the stuff but not from that seller,

I gave the plastics all a good clean then just went straight for the black.

As for paint i believe it was good old halfords own brand i used, it has peeled a little on the handles up top as they have a flap for the screw and moving that has made the paint crack but just a fine brush you can over come this once on. The same paint was used on the sun roof as you cant re-trim it so i just sprayed it but that then goes hard as the paint acts like hair spray.

 

cheers Eigdoog

 

did mine a while back after seeing Jas's car
had all the trims flocked to match

 

^ Now thats where i got my inspiration from ^

Looks the nuts!

Glad to help anyway

 

That looks well


What material have you used for the headlining?

 

pretty sure this is the same as mine
