that's such a great colour combination - really does look very special

the door hinges are a really nice detail as well; can't quite tell from the pictures whether they're polished,chromed or just a brushed metal finish. look good though !

They are new repo hinges I have sanded the in a way to make them look brushed and then I’ll semi matt clear them

looking good !!

 

where did the sun visors come from ?

[FiddyP]

I made the sun visors myself

[KTS]

you've done great job on them

 

did you use the hinge assemblies from the standard visors or is it a complete bespoke solution ? 

 

i'd be interested in how you made them if you're willing to share that

Makes me want to clubman mine.

[FiddyP]

I used the old visors and cut them up then traced the shape on some 6mm acrylic sheet to cut out with a dremel I then painted it and used the parts to mount them

[KTS]

That's great - much appreciated
