My Ride: 545 SE Auto in Black
Right me and stoneface decided to changethe head lining in my 545 as I wanted black
first you need the complete head lining
here it is
Then you start to strip the old head lining we started with all the pillars (follwed by the sunroof) in order to take the top piece off and the sunroof cover
once the sunroof is out undo the 4 torx to remove the cover
under this thereis about 10 10mm torx that you must remove to drop the head lining
fitting the new one...
all done
The eagle eyes of u may have noticed i sold the white M5 leather and brought this m5 leather instead. check my new topic to see the latest mods that I have done with stone face :-) theres not many modded e60 in the UK so its nice to set a standard lol!
enjoy!
