Default Another headliner thread!

Ok, haven't been active for quite some time as my XJR failed catastrophically and then replaced her with a BMW E38 Sport. Wife really hates it and we both miss the R so I'm close to buying another. The new ones all have to have the headliner redone, and I came across this site in the UK and was wondering if anyone has had experience with their fabric?

Looks like it might actually be the real nimbus, but can't really tell from web pictures.

I have always loved how the E38 Sports looked, but after driving one I was less than impressed. You can really feel the lack of a rear sway bar and the recirculating ball steering in the corners. The helm just feels sluggish. And while objectively it's a fairly quick car, after driving an XJR they feel downright slow. It's a shame, I LOVE how they look and they're a lot more spacious than the X308, but they just don't drive as well.

I hope it's the real color and lining...followed by "they will ship to the US"! Bumping the thread in hope of someone with experiencing commenting!
