buy some fabric or clothes dye and do it in yrou bath or something i say, i did it in my old mini it worked great, you just have to turn it over now and then so it doesent get differant coloured bits (shades)

isnt the roof lining in these like a vynal plastic??

iirc xcore has a mk4 with a recaro interior, so I'm guessing its that he wants the headlining done in, now I'm not 100 % sure as i cant remember BUT a mk4 headlining is cloth.... if he has another mk3 then, nooo idea :lol:

Read my drives section! iv got another mk3 but did have a mk5, but my last mk3 had recaros in

so its like plasticy stuff, and i really want to avoid taking it off, can you spray them?

dude if you go down to halfrauds i think you can buy a spray that does rooflings and stuff....iirc rolo did it to one of his mk3's...worked mint and i think charlie may have done it too....

hope that helps :thumbsup:

is it just a case of masking it all off and spraying on? do you have to prime it?

foliatec paint i beleive is whwta halfords sell and can be used

i used foliatec in my old mk2, take all the seats out, covered the dash, open the doors and boot, lay back and spray, easy as that.
