Re: "Bonnet" sun-visor
I think I would need therapy if I had to drill any holes in a classic car. But, then again, there was a time when it wasn't a problem for me.

You may have to fit down supports to stop the wind lifting it up at speed.

Re: "Bonnet" sun-visor
I cant say I like it myself,maybe if it was rounded off on the corners and some sort of trimming put along where it was cut it would help,but its not my car and I dont knock it as that must be the in thing now days.I do like the way it sits though how did they lower it for interests sake.

Re: "Bonnet" sun-visor
not my cup of tea either, but it suits the look. Well done
I'm actually wondering about the noise that its going to introduce.
You are taking all the air that would normally go over the windscreen and forcing it into a small gap and also forcing it around the A-pillars.

Re: "Bonnet" sun-visor
After the recent drama on the forum, everybody is SOOOO nice! There's nothing wrong with disagreeing with somebody, as long as you do it respectfully. Sun visors on classic cars are not for me. Neither are roof racks. Just more areas where rust can develop.
