This sticker isn't visible when the visor is in the up position, you'd think it would be on both sides if it's so important. It's ugly and annoying, but then so is my mother in law and I have to put up with her.

Can't believe there is now 2 pages concerning this non-event.

 ^ ^ ^ You said it kiddo!!  That would explain all the cars performing around brest And Quimper Sunday afternoons with very loud  exhaust systems, monster trucks etc.

When I asked my insurance bureau about mods to my yeti, DTUK box, non std tyres the agent told me that it was ok to do these mods without having to tell the insurer(Allianz). I currently have a DTUK box fitted, at CT (MOT equiv) time the inspector has looked at it but never commented, and have always been issued with the certificate, maybe Picardie is on another planet!!  ;-))

Not a different planet, I was speaking about the law, not that I would take any notice of it but 99.999% of the French do, never believe anything an insurance agent tells you, he knows exactly what the response of the insurers would be and wants to continue taking your money.

 

"Tuning" in France means body mods & radios etc that dont change the manufacturers spec, the average Frenchman (and indeed woman) will have a wet dream on seeing a MK1 Escort with bubble arches and Carlos Fandango wheels, not even a 1" wider wheel, a spacer or a wheel spat was allowed even then let alone a change of the steering wheel, my pal with his MK1 MX5 that I found him in the UK thought he was being really outlaw by using the 4 point harnesses that I gave him, - bolted on top of the OE lap & diagonal belts which he would remove for the CT and eventually took off altogether because he decided he had pushed his luck to long.

 

He did however strip out all the carpets, the doorcards & throw garish coloured strut braces at every position known to man.

printing (not sticker) on sun visor is visible to the passenger when its in its stowed position on my Yeti but not to the one eyed driver.

 

Very ugly it is too, - I had a close look last night

 

And it is a series of pictograms without any writing that I could see, but without reading glasses there may have been.

And I can't believe how many pages there are in your living with your better than anyone else's car thread either, aka, a monotonous blog of your daily life in and around disneyland, obsession with mpg, exotic holiday plans and occasionally how wealthy you are. You seem to be contribute 90% of the posts there.

You might find that if you attach a sticker to it, that when you try to remove it, it will also remove the original sticker too as part of an anti tampering feature. 

If only it was that easy to remove.

Of course there's always the option of removing it (sticker), but buying a replacement visor and install that to replace the now non compliant one, so that the car is then compliant again and it can be sold on.

Compliance is only required of the manufacturer selling a new vehicle or submitting one for testing.

 

Its well explained in section 6.2 IIRC of the link given on the first page, I cant see it from this posting window so dont know who to thank for posting it.

 

It was Xman

 

It also says that the sticker shall not be removeable without leaving obvious and clearly visible damage.

Rather than rely on @J.R. 's interpretation, here is the section he refers to

well if i have an accident and the assessors are to inspect the car you have reminded me to rip the visor off and toss it out the window thanks.

 

(ps this is the most depressing/ridiculous topic of 2020)

Do you think that it should be made a sticky?

Can't wait until page 3.......absolutely gripping/sticky stuff.

 

 

Car Stickers

Many insurance companies consider stickers and decals to be a type of car modification. If you have either on your car or are thinking of applying them, check with your insurance provider first to ensure they accept these modifications as part of their policy….

 

 

What Modifications Need to be Declared?

Most changes made to a car after manufacture are classified as modifications – from paintwork and stickers, to wheel changes and engine upgrades. For an in-depth guide to car modifications that need to be declared to your insurer, please see our What Modifications Affect Car Insurance page.

Failing to Disclose Your Modifications

If you don’t mention your car modifications to your insurance provider – or lie about the types of modifications that have been made – you risk your claim being rejected should you apply for one following an accident or theft. Failing to disclose modifications could also be counted as fraud, so it’s in your best interest to be completely honest with your provider about the types of modifications that have been made to your car.

Read our Modified Car Insurance and Non-Disclosure page for more information on what could happen if you don’t declare your car modifications.

Not unlike what Shy ate for dinner last night, or where his next holiday will be, all of which keeps us enthralled on a daily basis. 

Job done.

Millions must be driving about with insurance void with an accessory like this on the visors.

And that steering wheel centre pad looks to have been debadged, no "airbag" text, an accident just waiting for a bus stop full of young children and fluffy pets to happen!

 

The stickers have been the only thing holding some of my cars together!

Ah those days when I thought I was the mutts nuts with my CD collection stashed on a visor holder and my discman connected to a cassette adaptor so I could listen to my music in my VW Polo .

 

Back on topic, I spoke to a work colleague who used to resolve claims for a Car Insurance Company and he laughed at the idea that a sticker would invalidate your insurance, the biggest thing he said were tyres, they always always check tyres after an accident and if they are not at a legal limit then you are buggered.
