you say that like its a bad thing. i think most will agree its better when my posts are unreadable

lol. Maybe...... I must admit they take longer to read when I have to think about what is being said. Probably my fault though because I refuse to get into some forms of technology. I wont SMS, therefore have never learnt the short cuts (and dont have time for MSN or like). A bit strange really as im a software architect, so should be right on the bleeding edge of technology. Honestly, Cant be stuffed. Too much effort and not enough time.

with most my posts i try to use the enter key to make it readable

i dont use most punctuation, grammar, capitals, etc

just enough to make it readable

i cant win...

back on topic though

can you replace the roof interior with a different material?

what would be suitable to do this with?

Too late

The roof lining is actually stiff (well semi stiff actually - it does bend) - its not just a fabric though. In older cars, they used to have supports that the fabric was attached to. Not so with the FTO. The lining itself is moulded to the shape. You could recover it if you could get the material to stick to the surface. and I guess you could make a fibreglass mould a similar shape, but not sure how that would go due to the material the lining is made out of. Just not the sort of thing that you would easily be able to use for a mould.

bah, i don't even have my roof lining, i seem to be comfortable being able to see bare metal parts inside my car and knowing that there's easy access when a problem arises.

Anyway, having a mould involved would be expensive i rekn.

yeh thats what i was thinking after dstock told me what had to be done to change it. was hoping there would be an easy way to change it without throwing a lot of time + money at the problem
