Is it possible to change the colour of my vinyl interior (i think its vinyl) its currently linen and i want to go black.

I found an entire black interior but they want 1800Euros + vat + fitting 2 days at 35euro/h. I might just get the dash and console and dye/paint? the rest - i want to change the seats to polepositions anyway at some point.

Yes it's fine. I did all the lower door cards, dash and center console which were all vinyl.

Hi Graham, its not to difficult to change the interior trim colour, i have changed mine from grey to black and even made a new headlining from black leatherette.
Most of the parts i found on ebay and i sold my old parts to cover most of the cost, the only thing you will struggle to find is the split rear seat, i made a rear seat delete option.
To veiw the mods the car is on stuarthusband.com (google finds it)
& car domain. rapidstu. 944s2 & picasa web album. rapidstu
Good luck with you mods. stuart

Hi Graham i replaced the trim and some carpet but dyed other bits of carpet. The dyed carpet is dull and i would recomend replacing the lot in one go.
regards stuart
