Title: Mk2 golf gti 5dr headlining with sunroof
Post by: Coltsluke888 on 22 June 2016, 16:11

I'm looking for a headlining for a mk2 gti 5dr with sunroof. I know they are hard to find nowadays! If not, any ideas of what to use as a good replacement?
Thanks in advance

Hi lemski, thanks for quick reply! The thing is I need a headlining to begin with, recently bought another mk2 and the chap who had it before me chucked the headlining because it snapped! I would like an original headlining, if not then something similar would work
Thanks again

Ah really? That's a good idea! The cosmetic look isn't too important as I am probably going to cover it with a pattern or picture to make it look a bit different anyway.
