Black headliner thoughts?

Post Tue Mar 08, 2005 7:28 am

Has anyone on the board fitted a factory black headliner? I'm planning on replacing my grubby off-white one with black. Seems cool enough, but I'm a bit worried about making the car feel like a cave.

Thoughts?

My iS came with a black headlining, as do all of our 325i sports. I think it looks great! but then i'm slightly biased

Go for it!

And there is a black headlining available for the touring too, costs about Ãƒ”šÃ‚£210-230 from the dealers.

Do it! I'm planning on doing the same to my touring at some point. I've just spent an hour fitting the roof clips for a combi load cover and had to drop the back end of the headling it might be easier than you think!!

Black headlinings look so much more modern inside than grubby cream.

has anyone tried to paint the lining? ive tried spraying it with satin black ( looks ok.. just not consistent enough. So thinking of roller-ing it on or brush?? I'll give the cans ago again, but if there's a better way....

you need to brush with watered down acrylic then spray it with proper vynil spray, looks mint then, ive done roof linings and parcel shelfs like that before and you cant tell atall, touring roof lining sat next to me now cost Ã‚£30 and looks good, even under a light like it wont be seen in car it looks even

What about recovering it in Vinyl or similar?

Not sure if this is popular or not on the other side of the pond, but I sell a lot of these headliners. They are made of Microsuede. The flash makes the color turn a different hue, it is black though. Should be cheaper than OEM at one of your trim shops.
