Hi Carmen,

Welcome to The Mini Forum.....

I woudln't advise you changed the headlining yourself, it's an absolute PIG of a job to do and even the most epxerienced mini owners will tell you that!

There are some interior specialists who can do it for you, but it will not be cheap...... Newton commercial may do it, you could email them for a quote anyway: Link Here

What's wrong with it anyway? Perhaps it just needs a good clean...?

Carmen... im about to do mine and im having major problems with it...

id just give it a bit of a clean instead

Hey Carmen,

As I said in your PM, as there is nothing wrong with your headlining other than the fact it looks a bit boring.... How about using a stencil and either fabric paints or some vinyl paint (depending on the type of liner you have)...

You could add your own unique design to the headlining you already have, in pink to match the interior?


Just an idea.... but bare in mind that anything you do to it will be permanent and will probably put people off buying your mini in the future if they don't like it!

By the way, if you put up a post in the Newbies section, maybe with some pics of your mini etc, more people may see it and welcome you to TMF!
