BMW Z8 Hardtop Retrim

Here we have a hardtop from a BMW Z8 which came to d:class for a headliner retrim. The original material had become loose and baggy, so was time to replace this to OEM spec. We have used Amber Glow Alcantara, supplied by our good friends at UK Hide which is a match to the original material.

In order to achieve such a finish, we first had to remove the old headlining, the glue, and any other foam backing left behind. The next step was to place down new foam to achieve a smooth and even foundation for the Alcantara.

Once the foam and Alcantara were prepared, it was time to stick down the material with team member Gael, who expertly trimmed this hardtop. There are plenty of nooks and crannies which are incredibly difficult to trim. After some pulling and cutting, the hardtop was complete.

The hardtop was actually fresh from a Bodyshop, so this has transformed the vehicle as it solely relied on the convertible hood.
