    I would only get one if you had tints, but get one that goes on the inside like the tint

    Look here you uni munchkin I don't give a toss what you say... if people don't like what others do to their car then its their tough luck isn't it. You can never please everyone.

    Love you really

    If you are going to fit any sunvisor it should be a black one. Any other colour looks tacky imo.

    Agree with Ste_1 they do make driving in the setting sun much easier

    i got one and had it on about a month then decided it had to go. A saxo just looks better without a sunstrip imo. Tack it on with sum tape or something then step back and have a look or take a picture and decide from that

    personally the only sunstrip i'd have is a saxperience one but even then i'd think twice as they can look a little chavtastic. Its up to you though cowboy

    black is best colour to have if you buy a sunstrip i wouldn't put one on my car, my mum had one on hers looked real tacky.

    Even the sax-p ones would look tacky imo.... sorry to any offence taken.

    seen a white sax with the black plastic bumbers and a white "saxomaniac" sun strip.... didnt like it. Would look the same ish.

    You have to ask yourself a question before having any form of sunstrip on your car; I am a chav? If yes get a sunstrip, if no run away from halfords without purchasing a tacky bit of vinyl that will make your car look gay.

    Just a quick pointer matey! I am not a chav, my car is not gay, and when I have my sunstrip fitted because I have no sunvisors I will let you decide if it looks any good
