Head Lining

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 , i will post some photos of it installed .

Nice improvement.

Looks pretty impressive!

Just a good job you don't have a sunroof as that would of been tricky!

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 .

Top stuff, will you be putting some pics up when you've fitted. I do like that though

yes i'll post some fitted photos when I get my car back .

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

Any photos of your head lining Injekciona as I would like to see what it looks like ?

Tomorrow I'll take some pictures of it fitted on the car. That's how it looks after the reupholstering.

Looks very nice

Some pics up of the head lining fitted

Looks nice

By the way, are those Lancia Integrale seats you have fitted?

That's a big improvement from the grey head lining Injekciona , I'm glad i did mine now as yours looks

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.

Yes, with Lancia emblem embossed

All installed and a big improvement to the light grey head lining as it just finishes off the interior . Will post some photos tomorrow .

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 .

Looks tidy , does it feel that its more spacious now ?
Done mine with some furniture spray dye. Looks good and original;))

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.

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.

Wrapped the sun visors in the off cuts, to tie them in.

Looks good and nice touch with the sun visors and courtesy light

Looks really nice great job you guys did.
must give it a more expensive feel to the interior.

Sorted out the vanity mirror frame by increasing the outer size and covering the frame with leather.


Also, continued the tie in, covering the door grab handles in the same semi-perforated material. The door handle cover, with leather.


Covered the steering column cowl in leather.

To compare, the top part of the cowl on the right in leather. The bottom half to the left, still in the plastidip I had previously sprayed both in.


Both covered in leather.

Dashboard next
Looks good!

Classy work

Great stuff Nismo and DLongstaff - how soon can you offer this service to other members?

Bloody hell mate, you just get lazier with age...

You should take up fishing

I'm old and I'm bored - but I'm not ready for fishing yet mate

Dont lie....

How did you get that picture of T?

that's not T that's Mario on a good day

I must have been confused at not seeing his bald patch

I can wait in line to dish his punishment out Mario, I'm a patient person when I need to be
