Bijou gets new Sunvisors

When driving later last year and at the moment when the sun does appear in the evenings low in the sky it can be bloody painful when the sun is shining, and I know, sun glasses would probaly help but I dont wear glasses and sun glasses can effect my otherwise perfect vision.

Years ago I bought some perspex visors for a Mini and never used them, they are tinted green and thought would be ideal for the van.

The original's had been lost god knows when, so fitted these to an already existing hole and drilled a new one for each side.

They look really good and even though modern have a period look about them with the chrome hinges.
