Sweet, glad to hear it matches well. Obviously that one screws on rather than clips over the edge so il be interested to see how this goes on. Is there anything to actually screw into ?

I'm going to use a clip that u get when u fit speakers, y'know the ones that can take a self tapping screw ?

well I'm gonna put one of these on the inside of the roof liner and screw into that, the 2 side bits just pushed into the roof line on the MK4 so ill just do the same on mine

will get pics of all the bits i use when i do it.. prob in the week now as I'm DJ ing tomo so will be in bed all day monday

Remove interior light



Hold up the visor and line up, I poked a hole in the screw hole first then marked up where all the rest should be



Now where I made a booboo, it would prob be easier to smooth the back of the visor where the screw hole is and do what brad said with the speaker retainer, however I chose the hard route lol not realising and had made the hole big to take the whole fitting, to resolve i had to tape a small nut with washer then a bigger washer to cover the made hole then tape to a McDonald's stirrer and positioned the washer on the inside of the lining then I could use a decent bolt to hold up the visor. 

Gonna replace the bolt with a black one at something but to be honest you can't see it unless you creak ur head round to look at it..

In the end I go this
closed


All good fun! :)

Purchase made.  :smiley:

Whilst we're on the topic, has anyone fitted the sunvisors with electric vanity mirrors in them? I was thinking of doing these as well whilst I'm in the vicinity. I presume you just take a live from the interior light wiring or are the loom connectors already up above the headliner?
