It will be possible to change the headlining and I would imagine any bodyshop could carry the work out for you, the ebony headlining from Land Rover is between £1K and £1.3K depending on model and then there would be labour on top of that

I've recently had mine re-trimmed by a local auto trimmer.... Nice job and looks good, there's a few threads on the forum where people have done thier own, I wasn't brave enough 😅

Don't forget to add to that the cost of changing all the grab handles, microphone covers, centre roof console and sun visors which are all colour matched to the original fitted liner! Current: MY22 P400e SE Prior: Discovery Sport HSE, Jaguar F-Type S, Discovery 3, RR Vogue |

Jings…sounding like an expensive proposition once you add all those bits in!!
Thanks for feedback…I’ll maybe see if my dealer could work out a price to have this done for me… |

brilliant - thanks very much for the video Defendit!
Good to know it can be done.....although I'm almost frightened to ask how much this would cost...I'll contact them and see if its worth selling a kidney for... Suspect the cost of this would negate much of the value saving in the XS model compared with a model you can select the black headlining on from build....like the HSE or X-Dynamic..... |

Had this problem twice and its was cheaper / more cost effective to add the optional sunroof to remove the mass of black by having the sunroof visible.
XS has a sunroof as standard |

For those interested, the kit is £2.5k and fitting is £500 so £3k all in.
