Never been a fan of the grey head lining in the coupe since my seat leon cupra r has a black head lining and just finishes of the interior that bit better , so i bought some faux leather and heat resistant glue and have now covered it and I think it will be a good improvement in the coupe , kept my old head lining just incase I don't like it wink , i will post some photos of it installed .

I tried dying it with auto glym black spray dye but it didn't work and just went back to grey so covering it was the next option .

It will looks great. I've made my head lining in black alcantara and it makes a massive difference to the feel of the interior. The grey one just looks hurl

No, my seats are from Lancia Delta HF mk2(2.0 16v NA). As far as I know Delta mk2 was not available in the UK? The seats model is the same as the plus/le coupe seats.

They look like Recaros.

Head lining- looks a lovely job but for me it makes the interior look too dark.

Nice idea! It must give it a different quality by using that material rather than it just being black.
Did you remove the existing lining or stick it to it?
Maybe a 'how to'?
Have you thought about covering the steering column cowl with the remains? I can't find the post/picture of someone who has done this which I thought was a good upgrade too!

yes the texture of the lining matches very well to all the plastic trim . I used unibond pva on the head liner and left to dry to give the spray heat resistant glue something to grab hold of , then just take your time to smooth out the lining and trim to the old lining , job done and not to hard to do .

it doesn't make it feel more spacious or cramped and doesn't make the interior feel darker either , just finishes the interior off a lot better than the light grey lining that looks out of place to me now .

Next on my list.
Not something I had thought about before reading your post Nismo.
Going for a 'bible black' interior so this should do it. thumb

It's been in the car now for 10 months and still looks as good as when it was 1st done , I don't notice that I have changed from grey to black and no one else notices it either unless I say it's been changed .

I know, no one will notice/not interested. But I will.
I guess it will be easier to remove one of the front seats to get the headlining out?

yeah the more space you have the easier it will be to remove and refit the headlining .

Just finished putting everything back together.

I went for a semi-perforated lining.

Managed to get the lining out without removing the seats, but only just.

Also, installed a rear courtesy light.

Thanks for the heads up Nismo.
