Any material shop should stock it or order it for you. Can I just ask why though?
The headliner can be a pain to get off and be very careful. You can dent all the roof because the glue is that strong. Shouldn't be too hard once you have it off though
 
I don't know about your local town but there are several markets on saturdays and midweek which just sell textiles around me and do them at resonabile prices too - so should save on shipping if you can find it all locally.

As for fitting, I wouldn't know, I've actually seen headliner been replaced on a classic car in the past and to be fair looked rather simple, but I don't want to comment on a modern car.

PS - Checked out your pics very nice mods subtly done - loving the front mesh :p

Its in the crafts section on eBay. And I removed the headliner in the punto I broke up and it dented all the roof! Really is stuck on there. I was hanging from it :p still wasn't budging.
 
Use a high temperature car trimming glue. Ordinary contact glue will melt on a summers day. Try www.frost.co.uk

You could also consider lycra/nylon. It can be shiny or brushed finish and comes in various weights. Being stretchy its great for trimming uneven shapes.
