Club Sun-Visor, not sunstrip

Boys and girls - it aint too far off summer, and with folk like me with a de-cat pipe affecting global warming, it'll be here even sooner :evil4:

On monday night I decided to make myself a Club sun-visor, you know the sort - unfold em into your windscreen and they stop the interior from getting redders when its sunny - anyway, my guinea pig was a £1.99 plain silver number from Asquith and Associated Dairies, or ASDA if you will :read:

I set to with a piece of hardboard acting as a straight-edge and a permanent marker, using my extensive maths skills and a ratio of 1:4.5 made this -

Thing is - I first hunted around the net to find folk who'd make these for us and found nowt.......

Reckon it could be an ideal promotional tool, so - anyone know of companies etc who'd do em.............?

I'd be very interested in one of these if they get made

Couldn't someone make a spraypaint template, and then paint / spraypaint it on then coat with some laquer or something? Then you can buy the paints and sun visors and paint and sell accordingly with a few quid profit per sale?

Just an idea, and probably wouldn't work but im no D.I.Y specialist

Template is easy enough to make, and we could easily enough order the visors.
With the spray paint though, I'm not sure how well it would stick to the material. Might have to try different paints, but it would be cheaper to produce ourselves, and wouldn't have to find anyone to make it

But AWESOME idea, you can put me down for one NOW! I love ways to promote the club.

I guess you could buy a visor and test paints out on it, im not sure what the material is that they use on them, could use good old google.

I would buy one if I get a 323!

I'm sure if permanent marker worked on Stu's you can probably find it in spray form.

Lookin good Stu

**Posted:** Thu Apr 05, 2007 1:48 pm

I'd [b]LOVE[/b] one!!!! That is an absolutely brilliant idea! :thumbright:

There must be a promotional company somewhere that will make them! :scratch:

Right . . . someone like these guys

www.impact-uk.com/

http://www.4imprint.co.uk/

http://www.totalmerchandise.co.uk/home.php

might be an option. They do all sorts of things and it seems like they would print of pretty much anything you asked for.

Even if we got the sun reflectors from a different source and supplied them for printing. :thumbright:

I really like this idea!

Looks good,
shouldn't be a problem to get done, either in club or sourced out.
I want one!

**Posted:** Fri Apr 06, 2007 2:51 pm

i got a good lead if they cant be printed for what ever reasion.

ya know the club stickers we get,
well how about over sized versions of them to place on the visor?

Driving with a "stu-visor" isn't really advisable Doug.... :laughing6:
