My mini doesnt come with sunvisors, and i can never find any in good enough condition to buy so my next option is a sunstrip.
not one of them blocks of solid colour ones that never match your car colour, one of then tinted ones that is dark at the top and blends into the windscreen as it goes down, i think it could be quite tasteful.

just dont no where to get one from, halfords dont do them, does anyone have any pictures of any cars with them on?

Before you buy anything check it's not an MOT fail as some of the deeper strips are !!

You can't say 'most testers say'.......that's a ridiculous thing to say.

If you have certain sun strips fitted IT IS AN MOT FAIL !

As the MOT test is not cheap these days, some people obviously have money to throw away if they can risk a fail on something so small !

Please feel free to ignore my advice due to the fact that Halfrauds sell them. That must make them ok then ! Halfrauds selling anything does not make it an MOT passable item !

I know a mate got a lovely one fitted from a local windscreen place.. cost him about £40 quid though. If you PM me I'll be reminded to ask him where :w00t:

Errm, or you could just buy brand new sunvisors and fix the problem properly. They are only about twenty quid.
