Cheers

yeah all the trims are flocked (Loads of pics in my resto thread) but the sunroof blind was painted satin blacklooks the same so it will do for me

Thanks mate
The only thing is/was that the first time you drive its like the the roof is falling in on you
But after a few mins its fine and now if I was to get another sapph I would do the same again as the grey stuff always looks grubby to me


Guys if you are going to retrim your roof linings then please make sure you High temp spray glue , just think how hot its gets in there during the summer I used normal b&q stuff the 1st time around and just look at the 1st pic I posted it took only a few months to get like that

how easy/hard is it to remove the roof lining as mine needs doing

Not to bad mate,put the backs of the back seats down and take out through the boot,you can take em out through the doors but its harder work and more risk of damaging the headlining itself

What material did you use, Matt?

python9

where did you get the material m8 is it foam backed

Matt Baxter

iTrader: (37)

yeah its foam backed

Got my stuff here
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3M-Headlining-...item3ef997b765

If you are going to go for the black lining you will also need to get all the trims flocked think I paid about Ł50 for all my bits
so total cost was about Ł100 for everything and to me it is well worth the money

botters

iTrader: (2)

autoglym do a paint for spraying fabric that will do the job its hardwearing as its designed for carpets

Eigdoog

Mine has been fine! I done it with 2 coats and its fine!

Its not like your rubbing to make it flake or anything.

marky g

cheeRS guys ive heard about that auto glym stuff does enybody no how good it is . iam thinking of spraying my roof have heard that you can do it with normall spray but it makes the fabric stiff even though that wouldnt bother me to much as never really stroke it

Eigdoog

Spray the whole headlining? Im not to sure about that but it might work

Im only taking about the handles and such...

marky g

yer my mate has just done the whole thing in his a4 looks cool but does feal abit like pubes

Eigdoog

That how my sunroof cover thingy feels! when you have your hand down your pants as much as me you get use to the feel
