Hmmmmm, not sure about that Bec. The proper way to do it is to replace the visor with a drivers side one from a left hand drive car. TPS will be able to source them.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

I can safely say I don't even notice the labels nowadays so wouldn't say its any sort of distraction.

Other way round for me.  Never used to notice them as rarely had passenger in the front, but now my daughter is older, she always wants to sit in the front (likes the heated seats) and always pulls the visor down and I do find the label in my peripheral vision, a distraction.

I know Simon and I dug out the part number for one but thought I might give these a go first.  If I hate them, I can always swap the visor for a LHD one.  As said above it's not really been an issue till recently but my girl has promoted herself to front seat, lol, and the label really bugs me when the visor is down.

I've got an emergency bar of Cadbury dairy milk taped to my sun visor, so no need for stickers :)

(it had to go there, the under seat storage is full of Battenberg)

I thought it was Exonian who had 'cake-gate' episode in his under sat drawer.  :grin:

Mmmmm cake...

I wonder what's in my drawer now, I've not looked in there for a while.

Those stickers look quite good. A cheaper option than a new sun visor assuming they stick ok.
Deffo a Matt sticker to match the sun visor finish with glossy logos.


Anyone for cake?

Duck tape with the VW logo hand drawn on is my preferred option.
Or just don't let it irritate you :wink:

Classy!  Good luck getting all the sticky goo off if you ever remove it. Once it's heated up/cooled down a few times it'll be a tacky mess, lol.

It bothers me and IMO these look a reasonable solution.  :smiley:

Come on Mr Ex, surely it's time to wedge a nice slice of Christmas Cake in the drawer, you never know when the craving might come upon you.  :drool:

I know it's ETTO, and they are not cheap, but the label does annoy me and I think these are better than sticking some tape over, are cheaper than a new visor, are subtle and importantly will deal with the issue.  :smiley:

Curbed a TSW and cleaned the rear number plate which is now the cleanest bit of the car

The same to be honest with my choccy bar version.

But at least cleaning it off of the visor with your tongue is tastier.
