C32 interior restoration :)

My goal is to get the car looking as new as possible. Therefore I have torn Down the headliner, cleaned it, and am in the process of glueing it back on. But I think after a week or so I'm going to be replacing the headliner with black swade

yea the suede looks sick. part of the reason why i'm getting a black on black E63, the suede headliner as well as the black interior is just different than the w203 two tone interior.

The issue with doing black suede are the grey plastic handles, seat belt adjustment, and rear view mirror. I wonder if you can dye them or find them in black.

Yes I am doing this myself, I'm almost done as I'm working on it as I type. I ended up going with fleece. Still looks good. And it is deffinatly a patient process. I would not recommend this to a beginner as you have to pull everything off the roof. Lay plastic in the car. Remove mirror and sun shade etc.
