        Thanks for the links, she's all done

        Anyone have some tips on cleaning the old rotten foam/glue residue off the headlining board? Looks to be a stubborn pita job

            Thanks mate, I didn't scroll down all the way on the garage pc. My backing was stuck on like it was installed yesterday, took a while to get it off without damage. I did however break the little plastic caps and hook for the sunvisor

                  Already sent you a pm for them bits. They're grey and I was going to vinyl paint them black to match the new black headlining that will be going up

                    Anyone got a pic of some black headlining with and without having the black trims ?
                    For what this cost me so far I could have bought an S2
