Not really a styling thing, but it should improve things ...

I may take the opportunity to add some additional sound-deadening to the roof whilst it's all apart.

I baulked at doing the recovering myself so I sourced material and had a coach-trimmer do it properly. Dropped it off one day and was ready the next - you'll be well-pleased when it's done.

Thankfully the Coupe only goes out for ‘fun’, so I can take my time with the recovering. I have the specialist adhesive, so no problems with melting the foam by using the wrong stuff.

The headlining I bought is this -
