Styling Interior pillars and roof lining

[Goffy93]

Could some please post some photo up or something showing how to take the interior pillars out in order to get the roof lining out thanks

C pillars have two screws where you find interior light in boot, (Phillips)

b pillars just pull from top then there is a hex bolt to undo, you will also need to un attach your seat belt with a hex in rear passenger footwell,

a pillars, again pull from top. No screws or bolts here.

Roof, pull the circular clips from roof lining at rear of car, view these with boot open
Take your handles, rear view mirror and sun visors off

Then bend you roof lining inwards to remove from rear of car

I've had mine out a few times as I have retrimmed mine

 

[Goffy93]

What did you retrim with a sticky material? Thinking about just spraying black from a distance not to sure, you got any pictures of yours mate

 

[Reuuk]

no, you use High Temp Glue on the pieces then apply the material



grab handles etc are in now, the same colour as my old sporting alloys GTEC gunmetal

 

[Goffy93]

That's looks awesome I'm gunna do, where did you get that material from?

 

[Reuuk]

In all fairness I had a company do it for me the first time as myself and jord (s1m0) had a group buy going on. however it soon started to sag so I retrimed it myself again.

the material I got was from a local upholstery centre but its closed now Ideally you want to get a very light fabric as it WILL start to sagg.

before we went to the company I had faux suede and it was just too heavy. (despite it feeling light in weight!)

acoustic material is good. its light, durable and easy to use. it also matches the parcel shelf so keeping the look OEM

 

[Goffy93]

Okay yeah I've seen that acoustic material on eBay and it comes with adhesive spray

 

[Reuuk]

Goffy93 make sure you get High temp paint!

 

[Goffy93]

Yeah that's what it is, how come hight temp is needed

 

[Reuuk]

think about how hot your car is inside in the summer. your windows radiate the heat.

ever left a drink in your car and gone to drink it after a hot summers day? if your not glue that can handle high temps you have no chance hahaha

 

[Goffy93]

Yeah that's very true, I've ordered some Of that auxiliary

What did you do with the sun visors cause you can't really paint them can you?

 

[Reuuk]

you can get black covers made up, @SJB1985 has them but they are about £45!

alternativly you do what one of my friends did after I retrimed hers and just wear sun glasses like a boss.

 

[Goffy93]

Haha! Big boss man

There's a guy on eBay might be same dude, but he can do covers in black suede with orange stitching for 44.99
