Hi all,

I’m in search of a good used pair of C pillar trims for a mk1 cream crackle headlining

Thank you

I needed some but had to buy from Minisport in the end. Made by Newton.

I think this will be my second option if I can’t find good used, how does it compare to the original? Assuming you’ve kept the original headlining

Newton irrespective does not match OE .. one reason the originals will have been subject to fade over the years.. also remember the need for the glue on same colour trim strip in the area of the top edge of parcel shelf.. trims under the rear screen.. seem to remember this long strip comes as a C Trim kit from Newton.

The new ones are quite a good match, mainly because the original headlining was in such good condition. The car had been in a brick garage for 40 years so no light polution.

I have used old original sun visors on my Broadspeed. Next to the new roof lining from Newton I can't see any difference.

Newton Commercial is definitely an option.

Looks like I’ll be getting a newton set then, my headlining is on good condition but the C pillar trims had suffered some water damage

Thanks chaps
