I got a quote of around $300 for new fabric on roof, A & C pillars, but I'm hesitant to vinyl spray the roof consoles, B pillars, visors and grab handles.Very keen to know if anyone has done anything clever?Pics?

I did my all the inside of my XF ute just need good prep work first. I'm thinking of doing the same but little down the trackBefore and after pics. 1

Posted 14/02/13 07:30 AM Posted 14/02/13 07:30 AM The headlining is easy to do. The only place I have dramas with is the clips on the visors. The visors themselves also get patchy if you use a sunshade during the day. The shade heats up and sticks to the visors. I used 3M bumper black for the plastics.

Posted 15/02/13 04:38 AM Posted 15/02/13 04:38 AM Just had it retrimmed. Took it all apart myself and just left the headlining to the trimmer. Cost $150 or something.The black looks heaps better than the povo cream colour. 1
