Looks awesome. I might give this a go in the week. Are the pillars simple enough to fit back, im guessing they just push on?

If I was to do it again I'd use drawing pins to hold the material and lay it out first (like a dummy run pins instead of glue) as the recess where the sun visors fit were a bit tricky and make sure as you glue that the glue covers the previous bit to avoid it sagging
Hope it helps good look

Two little screws opposite corners you'll see them when you pull the surround out.

Yeah it's got a little fan (i think it's for the auto setting on the blowers) wen you take the light surround out the wires do pull A bit not a lot tho and there's two really small screws diagonal opposite each other if I can I'll get some pics up Monday.

Take the interior light out first then a flat head screw driver to remove plastic surround
IIRC it comes out windscreen side first.
Be careful behind the little vents are a couple of wires 2 tiny screws hold it on

Right. Moving on to the roof lining. C and A pillars off no probs, but the b pillars feel a lot more sturdy. Is there a special way of removing these? Are they simply pop offs like the others? If so where are the best pressure points and if not how the heck do you get them off?!?!

Grab the belt adjustment knob and pull it till it comes off (giggidy) and you will see a tiny T10 screw. Remove that, remove the seat belt loop (17mm bolt i think) and then you need to remove the rear quarter card and there is another T20 behind that then it will just pop off. If you are just taking the roof lining out, you can leave the T20 behind the rear quarter card and just pop the top of the B pillar trim forwards a bit

About to tackle this this weekend, has anyone had any luck with any brand apart from TrimFix?
Would a general high temp fabric glue do the trick?

Could 307 visors be fitted for something a bit different? They are lit on both sides of the mirror like the 306 Griffe from France but would obvs need wired in while the roof linings off!
On the subject of repurposing parts from other models, I just picked up these brushed stainless sill guard step plates from a 307 xsi 136, intention is to go on my SW sills but they're nice trim pieces and could be fitted elsewhere!
For example! Could easily be drilled out for l.e.d.s

They work number plate doesn't look to bad I'd be scared of losing it tho and I'm not sure about the visors tho the wiring would be easy enough interior light to mirror
