Blimey, nothing has caused quite so much debate as the headliner.jtparr wrote:did you ever get to the bottom of thus question from Nige.
It's obviously important to many folk.
Anyway, here's a photo (from Andrea) of an original zip and the new reproductions. An excellent match I'd say.
Certainly cleaner but spot on for size, style and finish. No protest from me, I can't see why you'd be unhappy with that.

Excellent, looks just the part , good to know, I'd trawled through all the old photos of my car but couldn't find any of the old zip
Thanks

This must be a pleasure to re-assemble. I like the passivated yellow with the green. It looks cool.

No purple? Damn. 110 pages to trawl through to discover why!

I'm delighted with the lime though, next best thing to orange.
