It's not a bad job to do - Make sure you get the headlining, and internal scoop surround and brackets with the vent

i ordered all my roof vent kit from japanparts cost about £400 inc tax, frayz fitted it for me to a factory fit standard, not sure why you would need to buy a new head lining though i never needed one, there worth every penny mate but i would let frayz fit it for you as its just not worth the hastle doing it yourself, its not worth getting stressed and breaking trims as i would of done, cheers steve.

No problem, be aware that the trim clips/plugs shown in the second pic are £3 each x 7 so just make sure that they come with the roof vent.
