If anyone has these parts I would appreciate it. For a 98 mgf.
A drivers side sunvisor cream. I only need the flip out bit.
Passenger door handle in flame red.
Would need part posted to Australia.
Thanks for looking Dave :broon:

Rocking horse poo on the sunvisor flaps, I'm afraid. The best move on sunvisors is to get some Alfa Romeo GTV spider visors, they fit with minmum alteration and actually work, unlike the originals!
Why not take the handle off and respray. Ity looks like it used to silver anyway.:lol:

Thanks David
Yes I thought the visor might be like that.
The camera flash has made the crazing on the door handle look white, its bare metal or polish in the cracks? If I could get a good can of paint it would be good to have a go at spraying it. It would probably look better if I could get another handle that was OK. B)

Do you struggle to get the correct paint over there? Usually a good motor factors will be able to mix some up from the paint code.
Failing that you could always spray them both black. i've seen that and it looks good.:broon:

I have the Alfa sunvisors on mine and they look the biz.

True, but the stupid thing will probably break again.

How to.

Remove the two screws holding the sun visor, take sun visor and throw in bin.
Offer up GTV spider sunvisor, notice the two sheaths/tubes the screws go down are slightly too long for the space. Take a couple of mm off each tube with a stanley knife (don't cut yourself).
Offer up new visor again, screw in the two screws, sit back and admire your new visor.

Repeat for other visor. :lol: :broon:

Thanks David - that's another brilliant tip. Will look better than a visor stuck together with gaffer tape... :P
