I've had a look around but not found much. Are these just a universal thing, or can I get one the right size for a mini?


I'm not after anything chavy, or boy racer, but something that's functional but looks alright.

So, if anybody could help me I'd be gratefull. Also does anybody have a picture of one on a mini?



Cheers, Steve.

There's no need to be a d**k. I'm asking for advice, not somebody to be like that...

Where can I get some from?

any sign makers usualy, give them a rough size and they will cut you off a piece then you can trim it off on your vehicle to what ever height you want it
and charlie T...good luck trying to fold up sun visors when you have a full rollcage

Sorry, I maybe took it a bit harder than it was meant. But I am fully aware of the availability of sun visors, but I like to be different. I'd like to know about sunstrips.


Thank you, Steve.

lol, i were going to say, a friends got a full length visor in his civic. i had a sunstrip on my old mini, i dont think i have any pictures, as i put it on like a week before i rolled it, destroying the windscreen, it was a fade-out type one, really light at the bottom and progresses to full colour at the top, got it from halfords, cost less than £5 i think.
