Ok. I spoke with several firms, and they all seem too busy to offer group discounts for us and couldn't prove knowledge on our cars tbh,.....however I found one place and booked to have my car in for roof trim replacement next week. They have quoted £450 + VAT for roof and C pillars for my cloth material. They are also willing to discuss a group buy when I get there. I'll take before and after pics and share any favourable price they give from the above. They will want the car for 2 days
I'm chasing Matt to do mine. He won't be happy I've posted this on here :D:D

Edenbridge, Kent is the location. I can share the details if anyone wants to contact them independently if you prefer. ?
Great, I can drop it off after a visit to AV engineering at some point. Look forward to seeing your result - keep us posted.

Ok guys. Here are some before and after images of my headlining fix. The las 7 or 8 pics are the finished job. ( sorry if they are in a slightly mixed up order as am doing this on my phone)

I only went in to have the headlining and the C pillars done. They quoted me £450+VAT.

I ended up changing adding the A and B pillars too, this was because the B Pillar lining looked Dirty compared to the rest of the roof trim ( so would have stood out in the end)
They charged £550+ VAT for the entire job.

It took them about 5 hours to do the entire job once they got the material.

It was only done 2 days ago, looks good so far.

If you guys are interested then the company is called VAMPED TRIMMING, they are on Edenbridge in Kent.

That looks like a fantastic job! Well done for tracking down a company that will do the work at a reasonable rate.
Will definitely use them to get the same done to mine.
Thanks for sharing with the rest of us :clapps:

Yeah, no worries. I mentioned to them that there may be a few from our forum that want the retrim. My name is Steve and I've a white Granturismo, that snippet should jog their memory depending on how long you wait to get the work done.

Its probably easier and cheaper if you have black trim. They also have Alcantara and an Alcantara like fabric which feels nice too. I would have gone for that, but it would have made the sun visors look out of place.

Thank you Mavster, this is very helpful. Do you know how/if they got the headliner out of the car to retrim it? Did they need to remove the windscreen or seats to pull it out through the door?

I told them that I didn't want any damage to my interior or leather. They opted to remove front and rear seats, no glass removal however.

I went down to see Duncan @ Vamped trimming on Tuesday and am waiting for a firm date for them to fit my car in for new black Faux Alcantara headliner and ABC pillars. Looks slightly nicer than the OEM black cloth which has discoloured on my A pillars and is completely hanging down from the roof now.
Will post up before and after pics in due course if anyone is interested.

Is that on your 360 or the GTS, Brian?

I am currently in the process of doing this myself, I stripped down the car a couple of weeks ago, it's quite involved and you need to take out back seats, parcel shelf and door cards to remove the c columns.
The parts are all with a local headliner guy but to be honest he's taking much longer than originally agreed, unfortunately the job is proving harder than originally thought as some muppet :as004:previously tried a repair and used contact adhesive which has reacted with the old foam backing and is now harder than yesterdays weetabix in a bowl.
He's struggled also getting a smooth finish on the c columns due to the complex shape.
We've come to a gentleman's agreement on the price and the timescale as I want a proper job but I am beginning to regret not using Vampedtrim as recommended above.

Please recommend a good and reasonably priced company near South East London that can replace sagging cloth headlining for a Gtranturismo.

Thank you
So I know it's not SE London @Mavster - but North London is definitely worth the trip for B Trim. https://www.b-trim.co.uk/
I've been using them for years to work on my cars interiors. Most recently my GTS steering wheel. Napper leather and Alcantara.
Genuine quality craftsman ship... reasonable prices.

Some pic of it here:

Let me know how you get on!

My GT is booked in at Vamped Trim tomorrow for new Faux Alcantara headliner and A-B-C pillars.
This material is foam backed but very light compared to real suede and is far less likely to drop in the future.
Here are some before photos I just took, note the headlining completely hanging down both front and rear and both A and C pillars crinkled and loose.
Photos to follow once the re-trim is complete.
