   Personally I wouldnt get one. I fitted one on my saxo and then say the light and took it off, sunstrips make the car look a bit chavy imo! But as said above black if you have to have one!

   Oh right, didn't think they were that bad if they were pretty small, and in the right colour, but it wasn't exactly a priority thats for sure...
   Will steer clear then!

   They are necessary if you have no roof lining or sun visors as in my car.
   
   Has to be black as said if you do get one

    do you think that a black one would look good on an all icelandic grey car?

    Saying that, there's a posi blue VT* in westbury, with a blue sunstrip with a website in white, and that looks quite nice to be fair!

    That would have Tcutted out with abit of elbow grease lol ouch that looks bad
    
    
    As for the sunstrip - Black pretty much works on any colour car, sometimes a strip that matchs the cars colour can look abit ott but all a case of personaly taste really.
    
    Watch out for MoT time as the Law states - No sunstrip must be lower enough to be cover by the path of the whipers so in short if the whiper touches the strip its not gona pass a MoT - But having said that alot depends on the Tester and station still regardless of the law
