Z3 Sun Visors

I assume most will agree that the original MG TF sun visors are quite fiddly, some miss the flaps or springs.
Some used Alfa GTV/Spider visors as a replacement but I didn't like the look and the fact that they cover the mirror.

Since a few days I have BMW Z3 visors in my TF fitted and think they have the perfect shape and size.



What do you think?

:welcome2: Nice addition. Are they a straight fit?
I have the Alfa GTV ones fitted.

...nearly a straight fit...

I cut off the original fixing brackets to cover the holes in the window frame, fitted the inner screw of the visors in the outer original fixing point to move them a little outwards.



blurry but cognizable

Have heard they nearly fit, but a slight bit of dremelling was required - huge improvement over the originals though :yesnod:

Looking good :broon: Very tempted to get these.. Hate the crappy original ones...just a bit concerned if they ain't a straight swop as I'm pretty rubbish at modding

David, any pics of the Alfa ones, and are they a straight fit?

Alfa GTV sunvisors.
They are more or less a straight fit, in that the bracket fits the hole in the window surround and the holes line up for the bolts. You need to shave a little off the back of the bracket to get it to sit down properly. I've got some photos somewhere.

As Bertl points out they do overlap the mirror a bit when down.

I am not being contrary for contrary's sake, but I like my original ones... :yesnod:

However, both the Alfa and the Z3 ones look fine. Just a couple of questions. Do the Alfa ones leak oil? Do the Z3 ones turn you into a hairdresser?

Please be patient, I have to make a perm before I can post a reply.
