I found the material online. I haven't got a sample yet but it looks identical in the pics.
There's also a black version of the material.

All Mk1 Astra had cream headlining but if you weren't into the stock look, black reaps looks better.
I'm going for the stock perforated cream look.

Most car trimmers will have the material in stock.
I would advise getting the trimmers to fit it.
I done mine and it was a proper hard job to do and get anywhere near right.
If I had to do it again, I'd pay someone to do it.
