desperately need a sunstrip but

[nicole_]

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 :P 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 :n:

[Liam_LFC_VTR]

Depends on the car tbh

If you are getting one, get a plain one, not one that says Racer or something on it LOL :y:

[iw_laurence]

oh dear lol. how about some sunglasses? if you were to get a sunstrip though i would get on with the fade on it as they look alot nicer than the solid ones imo

[djflipsaxo]

lol i have this problem
cant you get tinted front screen with the visor as standard? the furio does

[nicole_]

lol well i have a mango car if that helps? :)
and tried sunglasses but everything was blurry and even worse :P

[djflipsaxo]

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

[nicole_]

its a westcoast mk1 yeh, and nope, no strip, :(

[djflipsaxo]

well try to get one thats plain, hard to do with a mango westie haha

[Danr]

Just a plain black one is all you need.

BTW seriously... you're quite pleasant... i'm having a party at mine tonight. You can come if you want?

[MikeYost]

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 ;)

[sergcab]

jst make sure it dnt look chavy and not sayin bad girl racer and tht crap if u hav a propa reason 2 get them fair enuff and u do but most chavs jst get it coz they think its a kwl mod and they cnt afford nothin else and they think theyr racers wit it on lol i had a metro wit a sunstrip full of chavs and they was tryin 2 race me i was pissin myself laghin lol

[saxova]

you drive a yellow flatarch with Twat lights on the back, Why you bothered about a sun strip...?

[VTR_Craig]

How about a saxp website sticker across the top

[nicole_]

you drive a yellow flatarch with Twat lights on the back, Why you bothered about a sun strip...?

funny looking flat-arch, and lights were already in when i bought and not forking out for new ones till ive got the money as they do the job for now, oh and i havent passed my test yet. thankyou very much

dont think sax-p will block the sun out much,
yeh think i'll go for just black, but gotta get new wipers, blerghh

[sergcab]

flat arch u need ur eyes tested u no wot a westcoast is :S lol

[chris84]

why even ask wot sun strip you should get, just get wot you want its your car. wudnt get a pink one though m8, would look a bit gay!!! lol

[chris84]

just seen you are a lass, sorry!! maby you will get a pink one.

[Ashleyp]

wear sunglasses nicole!

[louipfc2007]

search online and get a custom made 1 im sure there are some out there that aint chavy

[Whirly]

you drive a yellow flatarch with Twat lights on the back, Why you bothered about a sun strip...?

lol that dont look like a flatarch to me "should of gone to specsavers"

[nicole_]

wear sunglasses nicole!

i tried, i hit a curb, :( my sunglasses are huge and just fuzz everything,

black it is, although if i decide purple and mango theme, its gunna need to change lol

[westwell_22]

Aren't sunstrips not meant to go past the depth of the sunvisors??

[adam661]

get a graduated tint one so its not that noticable :)

[VTRelite]

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

[scholesyy]

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 ;)

[stinkycheese]

i like nicole_s boobs

[scholesyy]

:p join the club

[scholesyy]

get a booster seat lol. u must be bloody short nicole

[nicole_]

im 5 foot :) lol
and if i have a booster i cant reach the pedals, so the pillow works okay lol :P

[sammyd]

get lower seats lol i bet you get alot of stick tho i hate being smallish lol nice car btw mine used to be mango

[scholesyy]

nail some blocks of wood to ur pedals then lol

[nicole_]

get lower seats lol i bet you get alot of stick tho i hate being smallish lol nice car btw mine used to be mango

lol how small are you :P and thankyou, why did you paint it?! mangos are my favs :P

nail some blocks of wood to ur pedals then lol

is that actually possible,someone told me you can get pedal extensions but i thought they were joking :P

[sammyd]

lol im bout 5"6ish :p sprayed it because i love orange and always wanted a nice orange car. used to love my mango but it needed a facelift :D

yea can also get pedel extensions also if you get bucket seats there slightly lower than standard seats iirc

[scholesyy]

im sure u cud do it but i doubt it wud be legal lol. i bet u have ur seat on the closest setting hugging the steering wheel lol

[nicole_]

ofc i have it on the closest, i wish i was closer lol. im far from hugging the wheel, its really wierd.
and you could have changed an ugly colour to orange, than a cute diddy mango :P

[sammyd]

lol it still looks gr8 tho check out my progress thread see what you think on how it looked till now

[Bickerton]

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

[PUG1OFF]

do wat i did and go to sum1 who does sign printing and get a custom sunstrip u can get exactaly wat u wnt

[Danr]

Are you actually 5 foot?

[sminotVTR]

I have 2 mates that are 5 foot - one drives my car from time to time and i can imagine how you are sitting!

Tbf i know a dwarf (not being horrible he actually is one) who drives a corsa and i can see him over the wheel, i'll try and find out what he's done for you :) and as for the lights, I've had my car sinve november and only just taken the lexus lights off last week so dont worry too much!

[Mochachino]

Seriously though my sister is 5'2 and drives my old 1.1. Get the seat forward and squint.... this helps if you're chinese....

[sammyd]

[Liam_LFC_VTR]

you drive a yellow flatarch with Twat lights on the back, Why you bothered about a sun strip...?

You have a nova.

You're in no position to slate other people cars.

She wants a sun strip to block the sun, funnily enough.

You drive a saxo... you have no reason to mock a nova.

[Liam_LFC_VTR]

Where did I mock a nova?

I simply said he has a nova.

I didn't slate it.

Surely that says you drive a car which means you are not worthy of commenting on a saxo.... which is derogatory...

Take a chill pill :hug:

He was being harsh on the girl who was asking about a sunstrip, by slating her car.

[adamm]

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
