Headlining colour

[Skyedriver]

Hello, new owner here.
I've recently bought a car, Mediterranean Blue, cream leather seats, door panels etc.
A roll of Lotusbits headlining material came with the car but it's quite a dark beige/brown colour rather than the light cream I think the original is (difficult to tell as it's faded and grubby).
Has anyone used this darker variant and confirm it looks OK
Thanks

As you've realised, it's very difficult to work out exactly what colour the original is (was). Even if you remove a panel the wrap around still doesn't make colour definition easy.
Give Woolies a call and ask for a sample of each roof trim they do. They have a good selection and select the one you like best. When I rang them during lock down, the samples arrived the next day.
I got a tub of glue and a spray can plus 4 metres (IIRC). It was a fraction of the price of a material only quote I got from LB.

Thanks Met Blue, decided to just run with what I have, it's a roll of Lotusbits beige, maybe it'll look lighter when in the car.

Don’t worry, the bits that are exposed to sunlight will be a few shades lighter in a year or two !
