Looking real tidy Jason, some of the little touchs make the big difference. Nice to see someone else rocking the badboy bonnet

Cracked on today and got everything finished

First painted roof lining, it took 4 cans of satin black to get a good covering







Then painted C pillars





and then the clips/covers





And finally, some pics of everything back together



















Happy with how its come out, not sure what i'll be doing with the sun visors either leave them get them flocked or find some already black ones from another car... didnt want to spray them as i thought it would come out shit and actually quite like them cream tbh nice contract against the black

Looks great mate. This has reminded me I have a full black roof/pillars interior in the shed, but its not painted its covered in material - seeing this I'm tempted to scrap it and paint my plastics now

As Tom said it's fairly easy getting it all out just lots of things to unscrew and Un clip and and putting back wasn't too bad either just had to be careful not to chip anything.

Only thing that was a bit of a pain was removing the C pillars there's one screw behind the boot trim which is hard to get to without actually removing the boot trim.

I painted the roof lining in my puma and it came out shite. The material goes very hard and isn't nice to touch. Just generally looks crap. Is that how yours has turned out?

Love it otherwise. Have black plastics and headlining in the ST and it makes a huge difference compared to lighter colours.

You don't actually drive with the seats that far back, do you?

Yeah there's a bit of a weird texture to it but doesn't really bother me don't normally touch it anyway

I don't have or drive with the seats like that just put them like that as they were getting in the way of pillars for taking photos

My head used to touch the puma's headlining, which was rather annoying

Also odd question but do you have a link for the interior light bulb or know the size ? Cheers

I'm not sure what I'll be doing with them at the moment I think they would come out shit painted, actually don't mind them as they are so may just leave them

This is the bulb I've got for my map light 390700461776
