I think you have to trim it yourself.

black fabric dye does the trick, has to be clean as a whistle though for best results

then the a,b and c pillars will need to be painted or trimmed, and the sunvisors and the handle's etc

may sound stupid but i was considering this a few months back and i saw some kind of material in a garden centre of all places that impo would be ideal. looked exactly the same kind of texture ect. i think the harder part is to find some black sunvisors tho. i tried some from a 205 gti but even when cut down they didnt look right so binned the whole idea
