Sun strip - cool or no cool?
|
11-11-2014, 09:43 PM
I haven't had a sun strip on a car since 2003 but seeing that picture of bens White Rallye made me think... Are they cool and should I get one for the Rallye? I'm not talking chavy all the way down can't see where I'm going I'm on about a totally plain small one that just goes across the very top in black ?

Uncool and a 306 with one will fail an mot if your tester is doing a proper job and you run the risk of getting shouted at by the boys in blue

Useful if you think it's clever to strip your car so much you have no sunvisors... but getting a little dated now imo

Bollocks to what other people think if you want one get one. Personally I like them, had an internal one on the black 6 keep meaning to get another on the van as it has a huuuuge windscreen.

Didn't realise it was a fashion item unless your in NI....
They serve a purpose, I get so fed up of being blinded by low sun this time of year, always finds it's way around the visors! Been tempted by one myself tbh, not sure why they didn't factory fit one with the rear tints!

I've got one on the estate, on the inside of the window so the rain sensor can still work. I like it, haterz can do one.

Get a decent internal graded one like a lot of standard cars run.

a decent internal one is alright. It looks good on a track car but silly on a road car.

A decent sized one looks good and is useful
 too big and it looks awful!

I had a sun STROIPE on my last 306, mainly because it came with the windscreen.
Was actually quite useful at times because it came that bit lower than the sun visor. Looked shit tho. 
12-11-2014, 10:49 AM
I think they are cool if they are functional. Having a sunstrip to try and look cool is for wankers.
I have one on the rallye (think its 7 or 8") because the sun always comes round the visors. I used to run a 10" or 12" strip on my black HDi because the buckets were so low in it. The only time they are a pain in the arse is if you pull up first at the stop line at a set of traffic lights and realise you can't see the lights  [attachment=20060] [attachment=20061]

The fraternity of black Rallye owners seem to be in favour of the sun strip.... It's getting tempting

I've been thinking about a subtle internal one, but I have no sun visors so it's more of a necessity for me!
Keep it simple black and I think they look good. 
13-11-2014, 11:49 AM
With fixed seats and harnesses and a cage = cool
Stock seats, TSW Stealths, bangin' subz = uncool.
14-11-2014, 12:43 AM
Cool is winning so far chaps. Was thinking of an internal one of 20% tinting film about 6"-7" high ?
