That space-invaders headlining looks well cool. Good for doing something alittle different. .

Quick question, what did you use to cover the a-pillar trim?

And was the headlining easy to remove?

 

[TiggsGTI]

and here it is fitted

Wow that looks awesome! well done you for daring to be different! I really like that!

ahaha cheers all! yeah i have been reading it
few of my mates have already done suede and leather roof linings, just wanted to go that step further and saw this and just wanted it straight away

i will be doing all the pillar trims to match the roof lining or ill do them just black cloth not decided yet

just been looking into wheels and think i found some wheels no one has used yet!

first time i trimmed the a pillars was with some black vinyl, leatherette stuff! the headlining was abit of pain as i had to take all the pillar trims out but wasnt tooo bad! i sprayed my corsa on while it was still fitted haha so thought id do a proper job on this car

Thought it was something like that that you used to do the a pillars. Were they easy to do??

Dont worry about the mileage, mine has 127k on the clock and still going strong.
