Hello!!

I have one right manky old original headlining on the 200.

Im ordering some suede to replace it with,and some appropriate density/thickness foam.

Has anyone here ever fitted/trimmed a fresh headlining for their car?

Ive read a guide on an American site,would just like someone from here to hold my hand,sweetie

I could recover the original,yes of course.

I thought I'd just spruce the old lass up a bit.

I havent pulled the **** out yet though!
No idea what its like under there.....is it foam backed....or the existing covering seperate/on its own.

Sallus has given it a good going over Matron,but it is 1984 stuff,and in trying to tuck it back in properly,it splitteth.

Hey I never knew we had a new Automated **** and **** -o-meter on here!
How novel!

The trimmers I use here in sunny shepshed are well experienced in sorting out ****ed up old headlinings as well as other ****ed up bits on car interiors. They repaired my ****ed seats. The're very good.

Not sure if you could recover it in sutue. It may have to come out, which means screen removal I'd think.

I like the suede idea though, how's about some black leather to match the seats groomus?????
