Default Considering black Suede for my headliner...

I am considering getting the off-white areas in my cabin done in black/charcoal suede to match my interior leather.

Opinions? Anybody done this with their interior?

I have this black suede on my XF Supercharged. It looks awesome and everyone that gets in the car comments on it.

I always wished we had black headliner rather than beige, much more "sporty" look. eg That's what they put in the XKR-S

Would you get the liner from Jaguar or custom job?

It's an option for the 12 XXR, it's called a Jet headliner, I ordered it.

I have a suede on my XJ as well. This looks very brilliant over regular headliners

I was thinking of taking it to a custom shop near where I live and letting them do it. I have not gotten a quote on what it would cost.

Since it is an option on the 12 XKR, I wonder if it could be ordered as a kit from Jag? The interior should still be the same on the 12...I would think. But the price from Jag may be prohibitive, compared to just letting an upholstery shop do it.

Default Complete the look

Don't forget you may want to order Sunvisors in black too to match the new headliner. If you go custom our mirrors casings in the sun visor are beige plastic.

Just food for thought...

I definitely think it would look better. If my headliner ever needs replacing I'll definitely go with the black as a replacement.

Also its a suede cloth, it is more pliable and last longer FYI

So I found a local upholstery shop that quoted me $1200 to redo all the off-white pieces in my cabin, including the sun visors and all the plastic pieces that would match the Suede.

They would also give a 5 year warranty for discoloration and anything coming apart.

The guy had a Suede color that matched my leather exactly - at least I couldn't tell the difference.
