Ultra Suede Headliner for my Defender 90

Hello,

Not fond of the stock grey coloured headliner and now I attempted doing the roof in ultra suede. I have a set of FCX sun visors in black leather with grey stitching which should compliment the look. The FCX sun visors come out of customs tomorrow and I also opted for the leather side trimmings for the front windshield.

Here is a picture of the Ultra Suede headliner, it will be installed tomorrow.

Hopefully by the end of this week I will get my Recaro Sportser CS seats. 2016 Defender 90 Adventure Edition

Thank you guys, it looks nice.

I will also do the doors in leather with silver/grey stitching like the rest of my FCX leather parts

I currently have the door handles in leather, will compliment it with the rest of the door.

The person I got my seats from sent me a picture, he just got it and will be sent in the next 2 days once the new Recaro specific defender seat bases are installed so I can still get to the battery without removing the whole seat.

I will dynamite the roof tomorrow, kept the car under the shade and the roof metal is too hot (touching from the interior). Once I am done should improve A/C and overall coolness of the car. I did the floors till the front carpet from the rear.

Didn't do the firewall, front doors and the rear boot. 2016 Defender 90 Adventure Edition

Dynamiting is certainly the way forward especially if it's an irksome beast. There are less brutal ways of removing the roof if it's a softop you're after. If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Autocorrect can be quite funny at times. My daughter's name is 'Talia' the autocorrect always replaces it with Taliban. Mind you she can be like a terrorist sometimes when the mood takes her.

Did you cover the roof panels yourself? Was it by re-covering the existing panels? What was the fabric? What adhesive did you use? Did you remove the original vinyl covering first?
Questions, questions - always questions.
I'm interested in doing mine but have problems with the sun's heat causing the glue to lose its grip on the original vinyl covering. Cheers, Guy.
