Something you could do yourself think some people have sprayed theirs black but take out of car obviously. Failing that try mj interiors who are in Shipley I believe.
Mk1 Leon Cupra TDI - Keeping
Mk5 Golf GTI - Revo Stage 1 - FOR SALE £5,250
Mk3 GTI 16v Anniversary - OEM+ - Gone :(
Mk4 GTI 2.0 - Slow - Good Riddance

Try a good APC with a decent interior brush first. If that fails, a retrim from a pro is you only option if you want it looking as good as original. Alot of people are happy with a decent DIY retrim using some form of fabric with a decent adhesive, (you'll still need to remove the headlining to do it), but imo, this very very rarely comes out anything like half decent.

I did a mk2 roof lining a few years ago and my bora one last year, it's a bit tricky but once you get the hang of it it's not too bad. Fabric will cost about £30 depending what you get but you need it to be stretchy.
