Sunstrips

Thinkin bout getting one coz the sunblocks in the polo are cack, specially that one above the driving mirror....

Do the vinyl ones u get from halfords just stick on the outside of the window?

Or how much do the windscreens with the darkened stripe at the top cost? - Might end up doing this as i have a pretty bad crack in my windscreen anyway!

Any help appreciated...

dont get a sun strip.....they look so chav!

since your window has a crack, it may well be an mot failure and will undoubtedly get worse......so you may aswell splash out for a new windscreen with a tinted strip. i'm sure you can have a few different colours and looks pretty trick to me! with regards to costs, pretty sure its about the same price, but i'd think you'd be speaking over Â£200 from the leading figures out there.

sun strips stick out like a soar thumb and are one of the ugliest mods possible!!!!!

rant over

I want a sunstrip for sure tho for practicality sakes but were can I get one thats a 2 inch tinted one that fades out. Seen some in halfords but not long enough.

)

Well the windscreen guy told me to wait til it cracked to the edge before i got it replaced and it should pass its MOT (since its already been repaired once).

Back to sunstrips, im contemplating gettin one from halfreuds until i have to get a new windscreen.... Cant you cut them down so they dont look so chavvy?

Was driving the other day for a good 4 hours on the motorway and half way thru the sun was just in the gap around the driving mirror and now my neck is killin

yeh yeh......comin from someone with flip paint

lol just messing!

if it is really a major problem, then by all means yeh go for the sun strip if its for practical reasons, get a tinted one instead of like a solid colour tho. You should go to a professional tinting place and they'll do you a nice medium smoked 5-6" tint which looks really nice. Go for that i'd say
