Bojmobile 0 Posted November 28, 2007 Guys, Looking for some help - my cream leather should be arriving this week. Was wanting to get it fitted at the weekend. I've changed 2 Corrado interiors previously - but didn't need to change carpets, headlining pillar trim etc. Has anyone done everything? Any tips? Front seats, rear seats and doorcards are a piece of pish but how long would I be looking at for a complete swap? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggrim 0 Posted November 28, 2007 Couple of hours mate. Unless you're also doing the headlining in which case I've no Idea. I've heard that the headlining is a 2 man job thougth to stop the shape getting fcuked. Good luck and get some pics up asap. Might be worth shampooing the carpets before you fit them. I did that with my black ones and it's so much easier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bojmobile 0 Posted November 28, 2007 Cheers Grim, That's exactly what I planned to do with the carpets. You came to mind when I posted this thread too! How's married life? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggrim 0 Posted November 28, 2007 Not really that much different to un-married life to be honest. Just a little wierd saying my wife as opposed to fiancee or girlfriend. Good luck with the swap over, it's worth the effort in the end. 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I fancy a black one in place of my grey one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted November 28, 2007 Its not a bad job really... Single most time consuming thing is the carpet id say,closely followed by the dash.Or the other way round depending how you do it. Good time to tidy up the dash wiring,and possibly replace the bee sting aerial while you have the headlining out. 9which is held in by the surrounding plastics,and clipped into thew roof. Neil.

PiercedWinky 0 Posted March 10, 2008 Its not hard at all. I did it to my car a couple years ago. Unless you are changing to a late style dash from early. Then take 2 days to do it. Do yourself a favor and scrub EVERYTHING before you put it back in. You will not regret it. Also the black headliner is custom, US cars came in cream colored or in grey headliners Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lufbramatt 0 Posted March 11, 2008 headlinings not too hard- did one on my own in a passat estate :shock: without mangling it, but can see how 2 ppl would be a good idea :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phatso 0 Posted March 23, 2008 Removed all the seats, fitted a full set of carpets and reasembled my raddo on friday afternoon. Still need to do some of the other trim but the weather is holding me up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
