VY rooflining into VX

[rhysdalegend]

Hey guys i bought a vy/vz sunglasses holder and im thinking of replacing my current roof lining with the same colour out of a vz that has the hole ready.

Is it easy to replace the lining? an will the VZ one fit on a vx?

[SirNemesis]

Surely cutting the hole is easier than changing the whole lining...

[D3CID3R]

i agree.. plus having the centre light still comes in handy

Spot on!! And since you would have to take your old one out to put a vz one it, why not reupholster it in your desired colour. Id imagine it would be cheaper

[rhysdalegend]

Well the roof lining is 80 bucks

My current lining has a nice cutout where the previous owner had a dvd player mounted. So replacing the lining would kill two birds with one stone

[Krausey]

Ah thats true

[MR_VX]

cutting the hole isnt hard i done it to my vx. but if ur unhappy with the old one then $80 is stuff all

[rhysdalegend]

Yea but is it easy to replace a lining?

[GAMBLR]

Not really champ, I'm pretty sure most of the lining and plastics are the same. Essentially, the VT-VZ were the same platform, so a lot of parts are interchangable.

If you are keen on a VZ lining, may I suggest a VZ Calais lining and plastics? It's covered in black cloth and looks very impressive.

Thanks mate, yea iv seen the black interior on vz calais was mint. would have to buy sun visors as well to match. sadly the calais had a sunroof and the buttons were located on the black sunglasses holder

cheap ones on ebay

Damn, I went into Holden today, roof linings for VX are discontinued, none left in Holden Aus or NZ. I would have liked one of those cheap ones. Oh well custom job it is.

I did my own in white vinyl. I've re done my entire interior. Just get vinyl dye and re do the plastics and get fabric and do the roof lining. Pretty simple

i was talking about the vy light console he was on about, i called holden like 4 weeks ago and they said they have the vx rooflinging in stock for $70

Just my bloody luck.

I'm on very good terms with the parts guy at my local, he showed me the monitor with the discontinued and the none available. So unless his computer is f'ing up (which would surprise me with the ancient programs dealerships use).....

Than again, he was looking up Berlinas, but the rooflining in 'Neutral' color was used in a lot of models and the part number was the same, and those were the ones unavailable.

Still my VX Berlina has that dark grey interior color scheme, except for the pillars and up which are all the beige colour, so I'm thinking of doing some colour-coding and paint the pillars and do the rooflining in that dark grey colour.
