   knowing you HATE them, what can i go for that isn't too tacky and 'chav' ?
   
   
   reason i need one being im 5 foot, have a pillow to see over my steering wheel and being so short can see under the sun visor bits and they dont really block any sun, and i nearly ran over a woman and her dog yesterday cus i couldnt see

   Depends on the car tbh
   
   If you are getting one, get a plain one, not one that says Racer or something on it LOL

   yeah you have the mk1 version of the furio, does your saxo not have a strip on the screen already?
   i remember cos when there was a crack in my saxo the window was replaced and it had a strip on it

    probably best to just go for a black one, it wont stand out at all (spesh as your car is a bright colour) and it will do the job

    not being funny but should you be driving a car that you cant see out of as i regularly see (mainly) old people peering through the steering wheel and im thinking 'you cant see fuck all get off the road' and in my works hi-ace i got shunted by someone who was too short for the car and said to me 'im sorry i didnt see you'
    
    maybe think about getting a car with height adjustable seats

    the law states that sun strips are not aloud to enter the path of the wipers by more than 10mm. the reason i know this is that i once got taken to court over it. so if u wanna put a fairly deep one on get smaller wiper blades

    Try get a plain one that matches the colour of the car, also then get slightly shorter windscreen wipers so they don't hit the sunstrip as much as thats what makes it illegal iirc

    i doubt this will help your problem to be ohnest because mines low as hell think there illigel and sometimes the sun drops below it so i put my sun visor in a certain position and it helps. get a biger sunvisor or summat haha or wack a yellow pages under the pillow
