Well I got round to doing my black suede headlining for the second time! Done it first time round and made a really nice job, then the glue, erm, unglued. :huh: So after coming back from the airport with it sitting on my head i went to good old Halfords :lipsrsealed: for some stronger spray glue, and then restuck everything back, and was once again well impressed! Goes real well with the black leather interior :cool: Then yesterday got round to spraying my grab handles, lights, and seat belt covers. Bit of a rushed job doing them so could have been a bit neater but overall im pleased! :laugh:
Pics to follow!

I've got enough to do another full headlining and all the pillars if anyones interested? :tongue:
-
what glue have you used?
-
:shocked:that looks sweet as! Did you just dye the original or they come as optional? Me mates audi has them and I always thought it looked much better than the danky grey trim :sick:
-
read the above says he used black suede fabric.
i hope you used heat resistant glue else you will be re-doing it every-time we have a hot day.
-
what glue have you used?
Evostick spray adhesive, decent stuff.

Thought it would be halfords spray paint :smiley: plan on taking mine apart and getting them sprayed over the weekend,looking at doing the headliner black too.
You don't happen to have a website for that company do you?
Cheers :smiley:
-
I've got enough to do another full headliner and pillars if you fancy that?
-
how much would you charge for the headlining and the pillers to be done?
-
Well i wasn't going to do anyone else's..lol It's a bit tricky and i would be very annoyed if I didnt get it just right.
So I would just sell you the material and let you crack on with it ;)
Cheers, Hoggy.
-
did you spray the visors to? how many cans of glue?
-
Nope Audi A3 visors :)
Takes about a can and a half of glue! :)
-
What's the best way to get the headlining and pillars out mate?
-
What's the best way to get the headlining and pillars out mate?
Actually suprisingly easy mate!
Pop the lights out, unscrew all the handle and both the sunvisors and clips, unplug the plugs. Undo the bolts behind the seatbelt covers, then start with the centre pillars, bottoms prize off with a screw driver, then the tops. Then there is a long bit of trim to come off at the rear that just pops out, then the back pillars should pop off, door seals then just pull off, front pillars also then just pop off, now your just left with the headlining which when the clip at at the back is popped off it will drop, then just undue the wiring harness and pull the headling out of the boot. :)
-
Nice one mate, thought it was gonna be a right ball ache lol better get some fabric and glue ordered :)

As previously said I can provide you the material at a good price :)
Just make sure you get the heat resistant glue..I'm going to have to do mine again soon due to crap glue, third time lucky? :P
-
roughly how much material did it take to do 1 car headlining and pillars etc. ? fancy doing this but not suede black :evil:
-
About 3x1.5 metres I think.
-
well managed to get a bargainon ebay, 5x1.5m of faux suede for £14.30 delivered.
colour will be disclosed at a later date ;)
-
Nice one, hope its the stuff that has a bit of stretch!
