alera Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I think the interior trim on Audis is fantastic but the only thing on my car I would really like that it dosnt have is suede headlining. I saw a w12 with the suede headliner and door inserts in Berlin in an Audi dealership and it looked and smelled amazing. I must admit I am a bit scared of messing with the interior, if I decide to get it done I will take it to the best retrimmer I can find. Does anyone know if its a big job on a d3 A8, I am sure I read somewhere that to replace the headlining on the d3s you have to replace the rear windscreen. No way thats going to happen, it would kill the idea pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Don't know how hard it is on D3's but it might be an idea to get hold of the lining from a broken motor of ebay or IT_S8 if he's got any D3's breaking. then simply replace and flog the other one.

Figure11 Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I have also heard about the D3 headlining on a D3 coming out the rear window but can't confirm. On a D2 it comes out of the front passenger door. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I think the head liner comes out of the rear window on the D3 when I looked into adding the screen into my roof, if I c0cked it up, that's how it got replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alera Posted December 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Arse I thought so. Thats not going to be viable then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joylove Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 you might be able to get it recovered in situ. It works for sofas and it's not a complicated shape... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 You should cover it with fake Zerbra skin/fur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT_S8 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Its worth noting that what Audi say, and what you can do are two different things. The D2 shape manuals say the headlining should come out of the front passenger door, but with delicate bending, it'll come out of any of them.... 'Removing the windscreen' will be the Audi 'This is proper 100% correct way' to do it, but other ways may be plausible. We've not had demand to break a D3 yet, so I can't comment on where it will fit out of, but I'll certainly try it when we get one I do agree though, the alcantara/suede/leather interior enhancements are subtle, but really nice... £5K option on the D2's, so rare and more unique.. I'd really miss mine if I moved it on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alera Posted December 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Maybe you will get to break a d3 at some point. I can wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
