   Im going to have vinyl on my roof of my amazon green VTS... i dont want it spraying as it will be perminant and i might change my mind at some point.
   
   I like the idea of carbon fiber vinyl but not sure between that or grey or black?
   
   Opinions please

   My mate's just had it done on a white polo. Got matt black vinyl/ Looks good imo. Had a look at some carbon vinyl at Trax at the weekend - it looked gash - don't do it. Stick with black or grey

   shouldnt imagine it been the easiest but possible, jst abit fiddly around the sunroof and the roof seal, to get a good finish i mean, but alot of water will help

   oh sorry buddy.. i mis-understud what you wrote, i thought you meant the outside not the lining...
   
   Id say a new liner is your only way, but id say it will be hard to find a good one as iirc there all glued on and will soon bend/tear

   no probs buddy... as i say im not sure about the saxo, but ino on my clio there is loads of glue bonding the liner to the roof and was a nightmare and now i have no roof liner as its about 200 quid from renault so yano might be best to put up with it
