Roof lining retrimmed and a couple of stickers...

[jesus]

For some reason it looks like there are small creases in the roof lining but it's just the photo! Uploaded to Facebook so byebye quality.

Also got some stickers made up by Ady off here. I wanted red at first but changed my mind... I love the subtle look you see. Interior is a nice place to be now!

Also pictured is my alcantara A-pillars and handbrake cable that Austin made me up a bit ago.

 

[DaveDreads]

Very nice, what's that round thing in the middle of the roof?

Looks great mate.

Did you do the headlining yourself ?

Cheers. The cover for the screw that holds the aerial base on.

Yeah, didn't take long but was fiddly getting the headlining off/back on.

Ah right, bloody nice car you've got there,
pretty much the polar opposite of what I drive. lol

 

[Christopher.]

I tried to do it in my old Rb but chickened out.

Just spray adhesive and fabric im guessing ? I made my own A-pillars the same way.

 

[MonacoDan]

That is 10x better, looks great.

You wouldn't say that if you saw it close up! It's had a hard life... but scrubs up well

Yep! I'd imagine it's easier to do than the A-pillars but haven't tried them. There are a few tricky bends and you have to watch out for air bubbles/creases. It would be easier with an extra pair of hands to help out.

Looks great, where did you get the material?

 

[jesus]

eBay. It's not real alcantara but matches the (182 FF) door cards perfectly.

eBay. It's not real alcantara but matches the (182 FF) door cards perfectly.

im planning to do this in the future. I'm just a bit worried about the sun visors, courtesy light surround and the grab handles standing out as they're much lighter.

How did you get around this or is it not as bad as I'm thinking? Do you have any photos of them against the alcantara?

 

[TonkaTruck]

Always wanted to do this to my 182, really finishes the inside. Do you have the eBay link by any chance?

The little plastic cover at the top of the photo is that colour too. It is a different colour but it doesn't stand out too much... I actually quite like it. It's too much hassle spraying/covering them up or looking for replacements. I did cover over the grab handles/blanks though which looks much tidier.

 

[James28]

I've wanted to do this, but am worried about taking it off/refitting and breaking clips etc. I heard some can't be reused?

 

[Leeshez]

Very nice .

 

[jesus]

Yeah the grab handle blanks and sun visor clips can't be reused and the latter are a b**ch to get out. I had to use mole grips! I've ordered some new ones though as a replacement so hopefully they'll do the job. I just trimmed over the grab handle blank holes as mentioned.

I would do the same, covering over the grab handles. Been thinking about spraying the light surround and sun visors a satin black but it might be more trouble than it's worth! Maybe it'll be easier removing the sun visors and getting a sun-strip instead

I would do yours for you james if you were closer.

 

[GrahamS]

roughly how did you do the headlining. Start at one end or in the middle. Always worry about getting creases and folds with trimming!

You could trim over those holes then and have it even tidier

any chance of getting the ebay link for the material mate?

+1

 

[jaysmith]

Looks brilliant mate

 

[Timmsy]

looks really good! at some stage i'll add this to the list of jobs on mine

 

[Darius]

Does the interior feel a bit dark and small now though now? Or all good

 

[jesus]

It feels more cosy but not claustrophobic (unless you're sat in the back!) so all is well.

Is it really that difficult to search eBay for alcantara fabric?

Sounds good that lad! Although sounds like u destroyed your grab handles in the process :quiet:

 

[Keith185]

That looks brilliant

lol no, but I have already tried getting some from ebay and the colour match wasn't great and as you said yours was perfect would have been nice to know which one was a good match without having to risk getting the wrong match again..

Dark grey is the perfect match for the door cards. 2m is the perfect amount (stick 2 in 'quantity' box).

Looking good Jamie
