    Default Roof lining

    Hey guys,

    Just wondering if anybody knows of any shops who repair/replace the roof lining in Holden VS's for a decent price. Pref in the s/e suburbs if possible.

    Thanks

    Any motor trimmer can do it, or you could do it yourself, easy as if you're a bit handy at things.

    Anyone know what the average price is? I got quoted 400ish and that seems a bit steepe so looking for a decent price and good quality place. Any idea where you get all the shit to do it yourself mate?

    Well my VY one had nothing wrong with it, I just removed it and covered it in black pimp fur LOL. I believe a reasonable price to have it professionly done would be $100-200. No way should you pay $400.

    You can expect to pay between $200 and $300 as an average. The material alone costs about $50 plus glue, labour etc.

    On the money there Hako. Had my VS wagon done a couple of months ago in a velour trim for around $320 all up (a sedan would obviously be cheaper ie less material than a wagon) for a perfect job.
