:lol:

You actually need to ask this question? :o

EDIT: When you have a track car with the interior stripped out including the sun visors then that's the only time you need one.

How old are you may I ask?

26?! :clin: :lol:

I thought you were 17 or something seeing as everyone has to chav up their first car in some way or another (don't they...?).

I know I did Image Image Image

I considered a sunstrip at one point as well :?

Have seen sense now though! :)

no, the beemer hasnt had the chav treatment, just a discreet spoiler, funky gearknob, and different alloys (I havent seen them yet but they are BMW ones) .. oh and a Ԛ£350 stereo... WHY??

...as Zay says, track cars with no sun-visors need them. Mine had a sun-strip... but then I carried it on down the side windows too for when the sun moved around... :wink:

If you decide to add one, you need to check the maximum thickness its allowed to be or it will fail the MOT (as my ex-chav bro found out).

Tacky as fook mate, dont go there. If you have a race car then a sun strip is a must, otherwise no way.
