I sprayed mine black, took about to fucking cans of paint and 7.99 each from halfords, also painted the creams interrior bits, while it looks good it scratchs easyly, i would get the plastic bits either flocked or took to an trimmers and get them to cover it, also the head lining, knowing what i know now i would cover it in spray glue and get what ever colou material you want from a fabric place, small local ones would be well cheap, probably 10 quid for the amount you need

the headlining ?? and if so na mate peace of piss, just take off your visors, the handles, three clips at the back what pop out, interior light just pops out, and thats it rely i havent got a sun roof so its abit easier but not hard at all mate and i should think that re-triming it with some good material isent hard neither

I think im going to paint mine so they match the bottoms plus it's a lot easier and less retrimming to do. Im only trimming the roof now

trimming is far easier and faster then painting, especially plastics!
