Hardtop headlining repair

[Bottrill]

Evening, All

Can please ask if there are any local recommendations to repair a sagging headlining on an S2 Exige? Only noticed it last weekend. Two bubbles have appeared directly above  the driver and passenger areas. 
I’m based in Derby. 
 

Thanks in advance.

Not local Lee but I use Doncaster Trimmers for all my work, think you’ll be looking about £250 but give them a ring. The owner (Richard) is a knowledgeable Lotus owner

Lee,  head lining fell out of my s1 Exige!  I have some fabric and glue left over and  live close to you if you want to fix yourself. Should be much easier on your Exige as you can remove the roof. 
 

I made a template, cut thin card to shape, covered the card with the fabric, glued it in place.  S1,headlining is flat(ish).

Mine was in a similar state. With the roof off, removal,of the old headlining and all the old glue/ degraded foam backing is a really long and boring job. But once it’s all off, places like eBay or Woolies will provide some nice headline options , and it’s not a bad diy job to do ( and I am no upholsterer )

Thanks for all of your replies. 
I’ll give Doncaster trimmers a call and get a quote. It could have been like that for a while, I’ve just never looked up to notice it. Appreciate the offer of material and glue. 
 

Is the roof removal fairly straight forward on the S2? 

Thank you.

Not sure the S2 is easier looking at that, working upside down in the car is hard but the shape was not too bad and it’s flat.  
Finished and card liner/template.

That looks really good, nice job.
