Duke Blues 15 Posted February 9, 2015 Cheers Tibbs, I was a bag of nerves fitting the door trims. I really didn't want to scratch the paint. By using waxoil i was hoping that it would offer some protection if i damaged the paint. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfrace 116 Posted February 9, 2015 Looks spot on duke, the chrome really sets off against the green. It's a lovely colour. Wasn't sure if at first it would be worth the additional cost to fill the sunroof but I think looking at it you made a wise choice and it's well worth it. Look forward to seeing it at a show! :thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course it means having to buy a new headlining as the old one has a large oblong hole in it. But i would probably have replaced it anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got mine from eastkent, spot on for colour and quite a good fit :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duke Blues 15 Posted February 9, 2015 Thanks tibbs, I may be having the headlining at the same time as the vinyl roof at D.L.Barr and sons in Hull around the end of may. But before then i have the inside of the roof to clean up and replace the sound proofing/insulation. Plenty to be getting on with over the next few weeks/months.

cortinax14 10 Posted February 10, 2015 Hi Duke Fantastic job you are doing there. Absolutely spot on :thumbup: I will be interested to see how you rate D.L.Barr & Sons as I am looking for somewhere localish to me (I'm in York) to have my vinyl roof, roof lining and sunroof fitted when the Mk4 is painted. Granted, I'm quite a way off yet, but I need to start planning the out sourced stuff :thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When i rang for a quote i was told that the vinyl roof would be £275+vat and the headlining would be £175+vat that is for supply and fit. I don't know how that compares to other companies but they are quite local to me so that saves time and money. Roll on may :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know how that compares to other companies but they are quite local to me so that saves time and money. Roll on may :) good price on both, Vinyl roofs cost £120 just to buy,and head linings cost about £100 just to buy.I got a quote from someone up from me maybe hull somewhere £350 for the vinyl Edited February 10, 2015 by TIB3300 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duke Blues 15 Posted February 10, 2015 Funny that you should say that Mr tibbs, I was talking to someone else who said that it seemed a little bit cheap for D.L.Barr. but that's what i was told on the phone when i enquired. I will check again when i book the car in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
