_leon_ 0 Posted February 6, 2009 Retrimming the headlining and pillars will cost around 550. Need to be sure you want it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JMC 0 Posted February 6, 2009 I resprayed mine with fabric paint. Cost about £30 in paint. Is a reasonable finish, as long as you don't rub it, but then again how main people rub their headlining. If you have loads of spare cash then get it retrimmed, but to be honest given the cost try the respray first. I did everything, headlining, pillars, sunvisors etc for £50 all in.

DIGGER B 0 Posted February 6, 2009 I retrimmed my own headlining in black faux suede cost me about £30 in materials and about two hours to do 8) the headlining was already out of the car though. came out really well if i do say so myself . :grin: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
winchbietch 0 Posted February 6, 2009 yeah recovered my headlinning in black suede aswell, looks the business when done!!!!! Went down to halfords and got a black interior spray, painted all the roof trim, sunvisors and switches. used a pin to remove the paint covering over the switch illumination. The sunroof edging trim was the only thing i had to go gentle with, too much paint and you get a cactus feel. :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikehiow 0 Posted February 6, 2009 I'm going to have to attempt a mock up retrim of something unimportant - but I might give this a go. Would be black alcantra for me though :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve@flexi 0 Posted February 10, 2009 Cheers for the help guys, Bit of a scheme going on in my head as to whats happening with the C, i think the spray idea may just work well enough! What did you use? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JMC 0 Posted February 11, 2009 Vinyl spray by a guy on here - dgarwood. He has some for sale at the moment I think (just made up a anew black batch)... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lilfuzzer 1 Posted March 3, 2009 Retrimmed mine and the pillars just took a while and patience but worth it in the end. but seem photo of jmc sprayed and looks good. so both options can produce good results, suppose which ever you think you would like the best Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilfuzzer 1 Posted March 3, 2009 Just thought I'd add that retrimming doesnt cost the earth if done yourself. Mine worked out very respectable :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woody 0 Posted July 4, 2009 Where can you buy the stuff to retrim the headlining does anybody who has done this then suffered with catching of the new sunroof panel trim on the roof when opening the sunroof Cheers Woody Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
