I prefer the sun visors as their only needed when the sun is in your face. The sun strip will always be there and I'd find it distracting and a pain whilst driving in the dark. But each to their own.  |

Fast replies  Yea i think it goes quite well with my mini more of like a rally look? Maybe its a bit to low as the sun is bairly in my eyes. Also i would probably get a solid black strip or very dark tint I think there is a legall restriction on sunstrips but i duno what they are |

that size sunstrip is gonna reduce visability drastically especially as mini screens are not that large to begin with. maybe a slimmer size would be ok bout 4" as that look bout 8"

that second one looks way better.... a good idea may be to get some limo black window tint from ebay, and cut a sun strip from that, so you can see through it but will totally remove the glare from the sun. |

I like the smaller sunstrip, fits in with the look of the car and not too intrusive. Sticky on plate for me too, and keep it as small as you can without breaking the law |

Phil the problem is nowadays that theres so many damn Vosa checkpoints dotted about you cant get away with a slap round the wrist for tyres or number plates any more...  thats the main reason I havnt put my black and silver ones on... even though they really suit roxie |

sunstrip = if wipers touch it is illegal, number plate, for m.o.t letters have to be equally spaced from each side of plate and equal spaces between the 4 digits and same spaces between the last 3. has to have a address and number where made at the bottom and also have a bs logo. id go for bike plate as the small stick on ones i find attract more attention (well mine did) as it was on a curve it made it look smaller....
