Wendy 0 Posted September 17, 2015 Hi all, My car is currently in the bodyshop for respray. I am now needing an Interior Headlining - in excellent condition. Mine is rather stretched and dirty (yes- from smoking for a few years in the car!!) Also the thick plastic sills that sit on the threshold, I would like both sides, but Drivers side is broken so that especially. Alternatively does anyone know where I might get these or SS replacements perhaps. I am needing both parts within 3 weeks. Thanks for any help Wendy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roger Chatfield 0 Posted September 17, 2015 Maybe try Dan at Devon Dub Shack, I know he had a few head liners last time I was there, be sure to mention that I sent you and if you use the code UKULELE he'll give you some discount. Rog. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davevw 0 Posted September 17, 2015 I have one as well if you don't get sorted Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emmib 10 Posted September 18, 2015 hmmm the dreaded headlining!!!! i think you will really struggle to find an original headlining (second hand anyway) that's decent enough to put on as a replacement for yours, and as we all know that once you start fixing or replacing one thing on a 20yr plus car you very often end up creating more work, i removed my headlining as i was fed up of feeling like i was driving around with a parachute attached to me and now the time has come to replace it as im getting her ready to sell, ive found a little gem near where i live, a guy that has specialized in classic car trimming for 40 yrs (the 1950's rolls that he had just finished looked mint!!) and he is going to replace my headlining (standard original colour) supply and fit for £150 hence she is booked in for 2 weeks time!! i suppose that if i wasnt replacing it in order to make her look as mint as i can then i might be brave enough to have a go myself (maybe) :scratch: anyway wendy good luck i hope you find a gem like i did Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Bowen 1 Posted September 18, 2015 Really easy to retrim them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Rossy 0 Posted September 18, 2015 I had mine retrimed at southwest trimmers in Calne, £120. Its close enough to you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy 0 Posted September 18, 2015 Chaps hi, Thanks for the responses. Dilemma time - do I opt for the 2nd hand ones on offers (will they look any good refitted) or just bite the bulllet at £120 - £150 ? Others views and why would be appreciated. Also if anyone has photos of stainless steel threshold trims fitted on their car, could i have some photo's please. Cheers Wendy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted September 18, 2015 I bought the material and glue from AS trim and did it myself, cost about £50ish. I'd never trimmed anything before, just watched a couple of youtube videos and went for it. The roll of head lining i bought was enough to do about 3-4 head linings i reckon, so worth measuring first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dbpvr6 0 Posted September 24, 2015 Emmib,what's the name of your headlining place? Have you sold your Corrado yet? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy 0 Posted October 12, 2015 Southwest Trimmers - Just how helpful were they? Not open on a Saturday, but arranged to meet me. What excellent service. Having them re-trim it though, after my Bodyshop man saying he does not do them as he does not like the finish compared to the preoffesional refitters !! Thanks guys for the advice.
