G'day fellas I have managed to get my hands on some new old stock mk 1 cooper s roof lining still on the roll! The only problem is it's a light grey sort of colour what is the original colour? Is it a certain colour you can buy or do you have to get it matched from an original to dye the stuff I have before getting it made into a roof lining

This quote is from another thread where we were talking about Cooper S headlinings.

So what would I have to do to get my grey roof lining to original colour?

Have it vinyl sprayed? Might pay to talk to your trimmer around spraying it off the roll before stitching.

Yea thanks Monaco ill take a templet in see what he aus about changing the colou and see where or who I can get to make me up some dye to match the original colour..... Might have to pull apart my old lining to get the original colour inside the folds where it's been sewn there should've a nice clean piece.... Think that would work?
