Custom headliner

Hi, first time post just looking for some advice. I'm planning on starting the interior transformation of my Z. First thing is to take the headliner out and get this print on it. My plan is to do the following:

1: Remove headliner, scrub with brush until all the old foam/adhesive is removed, clean with panel wipe

2: Spray Trim Fix heavy duty high temp strong adhesive on the headliner & back of my foam backed headliner padding fabric, leave to cure

3: Spray Wayside HTA1000 Waterbased (Heat activated) contact adhesive on the foam, using 1.4 tip HVLP gun, then spray the back of my 140gsm cotton foil print fabric

4: Drop the fabric on to the foam with a helper to keep it stretched out, activate with a heat gun and then trim to size

5: refit and hope for the best 😂

Not sure if anyone else has tried this sort of thing before? Im most worried about bleed through of the adhesive on the cotton. Considering only spraying a fine layer to the foam, bringing the cotton to it before it flashes off and heat activating it after?

Thanks for any tips!

Maruti Suzuki Victoris LXi Petrol: LED Headlights, Rear Camera, Fog Lamps & 360° Camera Upgrades

Hey everyone! I bought a Maruti Suzuki Victoris LXi Petrol a few weeks ago and am now planning a few upgrades. I'd appreciate insights from anyone who has already installed these or has experience with the Victoris.

1. LED Headlights

After some research, I've shortlisted the AOZOOM AZ1505-S HIR2/9012 because the owner's manual mentions HIR2, so I'm hoping it'll be a straightforward plug-and-play upgrade. However, I'm not entirely sure about the fitment.

Has anyone installed these on the Victoris? Also, has anyone tried OSRAM 80W LEDs? Did they fit perfectly without any modifications? I'd also appreciate feedback on AOZOOM's performance, beam pattern, and long-term reliability.

2. Rear Camera

The dealership told me that they only offer bumper-mounted cameras, so I'm exploring exterior options from brands like Blaupunkt and Pioneer.

I'm not sure whether the factory SmartPlay Pro infotainment system supports AHD cameras or whether an aftermarket camera would be plug-and-play. Has anyone installed an aftermarket rear camera while retaining the original infotainment unit? Any recommendations would be appreciated.

3. Tri-Colour Fog Lamps

I've been looking at tri-colour fog lamps but haven't found many options specifically designed for the Victoris.

I'm considering the AES FX-3 3-inch tri-colour projectors, but I'm unsure whether they'll fit properly without modifications. Would it be better to get the genuine fog lamps from the dealership, or are there any aftermarket options with proper fitment?

4. Sun Film

I haven't explored sun films yet. What are the best options for reducing cabin heat while staying compliant with Indian regulations?

5. 360° Camera

Is it possible to install an aftermarket 360° camera system on the Victoris LXi while retaining the original infotainment unit? If so, which systems would you recommend, and would the installation require any modifications?

Any firsthand experiences, recommendations, or installation details would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It's not the best sounding car in the world being a 2.0, but it sounds pretty nice!

Which color is the best?

I want to wrap my car but am having a hard time figuring out which color I want. My interior is a bright red and a burgundy. I was thinking like a deep almost black red color for the exterior but is that doing too much? I’m open to other colors that may go well with the red interior too.

Edit: the car is currently an iridescent white but it looks weird with how the body is my car is
