Hi all, my 2005 111S needs its headlining on the hard top replacing.
Anyone recommend somewhere local to Yorkshire?

Try Richard at Doncaster Trimmers. No first hand experience with them but Richard is a lotus owner himself

Used Richard (has a very nice LF1).. Service was great and happy with headlining. They will replace your lotus headlining with Alcantara but it feels a lot better and less flimsy.

Price was reasonable enough too.

Can't remember exactly now but believe it was around about the £300 mark. Was a terrific job done and welcome to take a look when you next see my car.

This is at least a picture of mine before I had it replaced with lovely alcantara.

Update, I had it done (eventually!) at Allon & White. £245.
I stripped off all the old stuff myself, the glue was removed
with tar and glue remover but it stained the black plastic underneath
so I sprayed the section you can see if the header was removed with
Plasticote satin spray. It’s not a perfect match with the header and
side Velcro pieces but it’s near enough.

It was around two weeks from me booking it in, I used a borrowed van to take it on Saturday morning. I think its done in a day (weekday) I collected it a week later.
Not sure I would trust a general courier.
