Title: Headliner teasers...
Post by: Wazzzer on 27 July 2011, 17:53
Anyone got any tips to get the B pillar, the bottom part and C pillars off? I've had a pull on them but I don't wanna break them...

When I removed my headliner it was just a case of softly softly catchy monkey.

Try to locate the clips then focus the force on that area, reduces the possibility of snapping things.

Does feel like its gonna break though.

I just unclipped the panels until I could slide the headliner out.

Have fun

Yes mate the material nad got hold of for me is quite stretchy so is ideal to push into the curves  :smiley:

Looks top, what are you using to stick it on with?

Trim fix contact adhesive, designed specifically for cars and the temperature the interiors can go up to. Available on ebay  :smiley:

Looks good :afro:

Can't wait to see it in the flesh, looks like a top job mate..

Very nice bud  :cool: :cool: :cool:

looking sweet mate  :smiley:

Why thank you :afro:

Looking good wes . My anni headliner and black interior is by far my best mod LOL keep it up wes
Title: Re: Headliner teasers...
Post by: Wazzzer on 09 August 2011, 22:10
Will do mate cheers. Got to paint the belt clips, rear interior lights and the W8 light over the weekend. Your old sunvisors are nearly finished and ready to go in. Just need to buy a black rear window surround, some vanity lights, hooks and covers for the visors and it'll be done. Might get genuine black interior lights for the rear at a later date as they cost about £20 each! Still not as bad as the ultrasonic version though :wink:

The belt parts are about £15 each too  :shocked:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0803/WesRS/2011-08-19202302.jpg)

and finished

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0803/WesRS/2011-08-20124345.jpg)

I've ordered some LED bulbs to go in every light in the car too, I'll fit the W8 light in as soon as they arrive  :smiley:

I'm now on the hunt for some black sunvisors from either the Leon Cupra R, S3 or Octavia vRS. Only problem with the Octavia is they didn't have the vanity lights so they wouldn't work but I have a plan with that, maybe adding a subtle switch in the roof lining under the flap :wink:
