So little A2 passed it mot. All the cursing and skinned knuckles was worth it.
The last remnants of foam and adhesive were cleaned using a soft wire wheel. I tried everything in the kitchen cupboard but nothing melts that goo.
There was a small area of damage.
I mixed up some fibreglass resin and fixed the damage. While there I gave the whole thing a coat.
Whilst everything is stripped I checked the boot area and found a little corrosion.
And when I got started with the wire wheel I found some more.
That will be treated with Bilt and then painted with epoxy tomorrow.
I’ve removed all of the boot carpets and trims and they are getting washed while the weather is nice.

I do like the A2. I know they are a sod to work on but I think it was a car ahead of it's time.Nothelle S2 Avant

Sorry for the messy photo dump, but if anything it is a good to see others' progress! This is from 2021.
I went with "Oak" color from YourAutoTrim.com store online. It is very close match to the original and included a foam padding. Pay special attention to those stiff brackets for the rear dome light and front sunroof panels. The front one is very difficult to replace. I have not successfully got mine situated so that the panel "clips" in. It is not a good design and without proper tools I may have damaged it to a point where I will need to take it to a shop to replace...

Nice work. I did my Avant liner myself a couple of years ago and wasn't happy with small creases around the front light and grab handles. I got it 're done by a professional last year and now it's perfect. This is one job I feel it's worth paying for. Not expensive if you do the prep work and they use a glue that you can only get in the trade.Nothelle S2 Avant

They are brittle and will likely break. You are going to loose 30% of them (my estimate) regardless of removal technique.
Take a good one and bring it to a hardware store with a good selection. I found something similar that held just as good.
