Cruising down one of our local freeways at relatively great speed with windows down and noticed that the air entering the vehicle must have reeked havoc on my roof lining ....Gezz these cars are extremely temperamental !!

 

It's hot here in Central Florida USA..There are shops here that do nothing but replace headliners. I bought my 06 that needed a new one when I got it.. It's about $300 to get it done.

 

Hmmm I wonder how alcantara would look up there I know on the Maserati it looks fantastic

 

What do you have now? I have Alcantara.

 

Mine is Alston Suede, per Jaguar

 

I've just got the standard velour no suede or alcantara

Can you guys post up a pic for me so I can see

 

You wont be able to tell from pictures. Its common as muck, and reasonable, you can go to any furniture store and see an example. Its like suede. But unlike suede it wont get too heavy with moisture. I had camel suede in my Maserati- it started looking like camel ********* as time went on.

Now heres an idea worth a chocolate frog. How about a diamond stitch pattern on the material you already have, it will not only be aesthetic but all functional in making sure it doesnt sag anytime soon. On new foam of course.

 

Diamond stitch ! I think that would look unreal !

What a absolutely brilliant idea

 

2 Yards of the suede would be all that's needed to redo the liner and the A pillars. That is less than $10. Diamond quilting 2 yards of fabric will cost you more than 10 (and most likely 20) times as much. I also have the suede on my headliner.

 

Tberg can you send me a pic

I've been thinking about the diamond stitch and unsure how good it would look it might perhaps look a little too busy

Ps I've always wanted a suede roof

 

 

ferrari, above was AM

 

you would be with the top cars. The Ferrari above was a Neiman Marcus Edition,.
Also you can embroider the Jaguar motif.

 

These cars look absolutely amazing

 

Almost a flawless job just the one broken clip when re-installing the roof lining , will need to wait until I get back to work tomorrow to rectify !

 

Aston is the king at crazy quilting patterns. The must have a math wiz behind the sewing machines.

 

The rr wrath has the current title in my eyes !
