alcantara roof lining (pics inside)

Nice work!
Dang you. I was planning on leaving the roof lining alone on mine, but this tread definately got me thinking.
My lower dash, including steering column and centre console, will be Alcantarized™ during this winter. Have already consulted some professional upholsterers and gotten some ok quotes. Hopefully will look as good as yours when done.

to be fair if you cover up the picture of the steering wheel job so that you can only see the bit were the alcantara is it doesnt look too bad! i think the cut finish is what looks gash

I think he meant the roof lining after you have stuck the alcantra to it and want to put it back into the car
I thought it just slotted into place in the trim. Obviously I've never taken it off though!
Apparently the grab handles are a b*****d to get back in as the clips break/bend out of shape so people usually just buy new ones to save the hassle. That's what's putting me off doing mine although I have the little blanks all round (weight saving init!).

Why not just cover the holes with alcantra and not bother with blanks at all?
Dimples would do my head in! The 'alcantara' is really thin.

This.
The he grab handles are easy to remove, just screw the torx out most of the way leave a little thread in. Push the bolt in and pull the handle out. Pain the get back in though. If I take mine out it's getting blanks back in, or covering over the holes.
