    Trimmers - Headliner

    Hey guys

    Wonder if anyone has had any good experiences with any good trimmers local to Hertfordshire that are recommended for redoing my headlining. Im after standard look, like for like retrimming for my S2 seeing as I seem to have gained a bedouine tent in the back of the avant. Yes I have solved the leaky aerial too before I get this done....

    I dont know who to even look at and dont want a bodge job done.

    Thanks
    Chris

      Cheers Alex, I had thought of Ish and the different options of materials but im not sure I can stretch to that lol. I would love to do it in Black Faux Suede but I know I defo couldnt afford that lol.

        The material isn't that expensive, its the labour that costs

          Ahh there ya go then... If only I could do it without breaking everything in the process... lol. I did strip a headliner out of a V6 avant so I could see what it entailed... but that isnt exactly putting the new material on an old headliner sheet and refitting is it lol.

            Take headliner out, clean off old foam, glue new material on, fit it back. Just a few hours to do it but it's better to do it in two days to let glue dry properly. Taking headliner out of car that doesn't have sunroof can be fun

                It's not that hard, honest.

                Just remember to use the very expensive high temperature glue, and not carpet glue.

                  don't do this cheaply , either do it yourself to save cash or pay a professional
                  NOT a car dealer! just an S2/RS2 enthusiast

                          Hi bud

                          Do you have any contact details for him and roughly what price should I expect so I know if I'm being ripped off?

                          Thanks
