Depends how much of a complete solution you want. You could try fabric dye (as the headliner is fabric).

If you intend on re-trimming it, with suede or such alike, then i would recommend spraying some resin over the fabric first, to give you a more rigid base to apply your material to. The glue you use may struggle to stick to the fabric and the longevity of the retrim may suffer.

Failing that, buy a Leon Cupra R black headliner from eBay or a breakers yard!

I trimmed mine in black leather with spray glue, but mines started to drop in places so I need to redo mine. Also mine was too dark against the satin black pillars, so I will redo mine in a satin black fabric. I can't get the LCR roof lining cause I got a sunroof.

Here's an old old pic of mine
