To re-trim it!
Remove the headlining:
A, B, C Pillars out,
Sunvisors out,
Interior Light out,
3 push clips at the rear,
passenger handle out,
drivers side roof clips / sunglass holder out,
Slide headling out the boot BECAREFUL its quite a fragile material!
Use contact adhesive and re-trim in a material of your choice, I used black alcantara:

Not to hard, just take your time, do little bits at a time, applying heat helps with moving/stretching the material

I got it from a local fabric shop, but eBay, online shops, local fabric places lots of places will sell it!
If you can stitch the sunvisors shouldn't be a problem, I opted for carbon look ones to be different
