Plan to improve sun visor

MrPogle · 04-08-2016, 11:19 AM

My passenger sun visor is plastered with Fisher Price graphics to do with airbags and looks hideous. So I was planning to buy a driver's side visor for an LHD car to replace it.

Anyone see any flaws with this plan or done it themselves?

I'm not sure but I think that there is a post in the three series forum about soaking a bit of kitchen towel in methylated spirit and letting it sit on the graphic (which is like a transfer) and it just lifts off. You need to remove the visor...

Your plan would work but it is a bit more expensive.

Thanks. That looks like the way to go. Worst case is I ruin the visor and have to buy an LHD one after all.
