Fantastic milestone on your Beetle to fit the body to the pan!
The headliner is coming out so well and smooth, I can't imagine this is your first attempt.

Thanks! However, I can't take credit for the headliner. I hired someone to install the headliner... Some things are best left to the pros!

Alex, I went with “off white” given I felt it better complimented the green-gray interior. The original color would have been “beige”. However, Himmelservice sells “off white”, “beige”, and “gray” cloth headliner versions. They are a multi piece headliner that are cut to fit. The area around the b-pillar is a matching leatherette material. The quality and fit are to a very high standard and I would recommend them.
