This is the web adress for the headliner..
http://www.aabestco.com/merchant.ihtml? ... 998&step=4
the carriage cost is $90 and if you want I can email you an excel file showing pictures of it in
bootyman put forward the point that there is not much room in the hood compartment and it might not fit properly
there is a 3% import dutyand vat cumulative on the total (including the carriage cost)and parcelforce charge for colecting it
i did not buy it

Hi
Are available in UK from E30 Cab Parts and AutomacGB Ltd...but they are not cheap...Bill at E30 Cab Parts has one on his Alpina...
They look good..BUT..they add to the amount of roof that has to be packed away in the compartment..so a lot more difficult...can create problems with weak electric roofs...be aware if stress too much will split ally casing, or bend bar and then snap rosejoint...dont mean to be negative but have to be careful

hi all,
thats brilliant, thanks for all your help.
daved if you could post a phot of the liner in situ that'd be great.
mine has a power hood so i guess i'll be removing the liner before i fold the hood.
thanks again

Seems an ok price too...
Not to sure exactlly how good this would be though at cutting wind noise?
Sure looks nice though,the inside of my roof is in Ex condition but id rather look at this as apposed to straps and rods.
