Headlining done

Post by Crowman30 »

Hi,
After checking some of the post on headlining trimmers, I found P and M Taylor run by a chap called Ian Hawks.
I gave him a call and he quoted he could do all the fabric trim for £300 pounds.
I sent him a sample of my headlining and he sent me a sample with a letter saying that the company that supplies the material can now only do grey or black.
I checked his sample against my headlining, fortunately it was quite close.
I booked into a log cabin studio in Cambridge for a couple of days.
I had the headlining done, very happy with the results.
You can contact P and M Taylor on: 01638 741776.
He also does carpets and seats.
The accommodation can be contacted on: 078338046 and can be found on Booking.com Kendal Lodge.

Looks a nice job.
Good headlining makes a massive difference to the visuals and dealing inside the car. IMO, it's the most rewarding project to sort when you balance cost, time to do and satisfaction from the end result.

Very nice job. Mine needs doing again. Last time was Dec 2007. Trying to find a material that won't separate from the backing.

Very well done... indeed.

I went for Woolies.
I think it was this: https://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/product/ ... ining-grey
Same material as original but with a black foam backing.

Take also a good glue, otherwise you will do it again in 3 years..

I wonder if someone could recommend someone who could replace my headlining in South East Wales
or Bristol area please? I am not that practical to do this myself.

Many thanks
Kerry
