Sun Visor base pads - replica replacement blanks

Postby Gramps » Tue Jan 24, 2006 4:36 pm

O.K. Someone will remind me that the car will not be compliant but I want to remove my sun visors to improve my vision of the road without having to slump down in the seat (road safety factor :wink:).

I have been searching on the web without any success. Can someone give me a link to the product which is a replica blanking plate and can be simply screwed on to cover the gap. It has been on the forum before but I cannot find it here either.

Thanks for the input Guys, I knew I could rely on you.

I will not be going the extra light route Craig, at my age I keep out of the light because it shows up all the wrong wrinkles :P (Here's an opening for one of your pot shots :shock: )

And thanks for the pic Andrew, that's what I remember seeing previously.

And although it may not be compliant Rain 902, I took the visors off yesterday and it certainly improved the appearance of the car. Non-compliant but complements the clean lines of the design.

Noted! But I was sure you would come up with one of your witticisms and have been hanging out all day waiting to see what it would be :lol:
