Ok boys, so the update is John has sent me enough information including the contact details for 3 buyer testimonials and seems like a very honest and nice guy to deal with.
That combined with a fantastic product means i'm going to pull the trigger and order one. Should hopefully have it here end of October, early November.
I'm going to go with a schwarz stayfast 3-fold rag top, but can anyone advise what colour headliner I should use? (Not a big fan of the light brown)
The choices are:
Ivory Nap Cloth:
Gray Nap Cloth:
Light Brown Nap Cloth:

What colour is the car gonna be? And what colour interior/headliner are you going with?

Does anyone know the correct interior color to match?

Thanks Pete and Ben
I'd better go start digging up some pics of the slate blau interiors and check the headliners! I think grey could be the best choice too, I'll report back.

i think red is the most common colour you see with strato silver but i think blau would be the ticket.
john is the one we need to provide the answers here.

Now i'm thinking I should go a dark blau stayfast rag top to match?

After much patience from John Alba at Grumpy's Metal (VWSunroof.com) I have paid my deposit and looking forward to delivery as soon as John has a chance to complete it.
I am going with the period correct dark blau stayfast rag top (car will be sprayed L227 Strato Silver) and was wondering what colour headliner is correct for a Slate blau interior?
The choices are:
Ivory Nap Cloth:
Gray Nap Cloth:
Light Brown Nap Cloth:
