I need to replace my visors. I.A.P. lists replacements that "are not original" but will fit. I wonder I need the visors for an '87 Veloce. Any satisfied customers out there who have relaced their visors? And yes, I do use them.

I purchased mine from Centerline for an '86 Veloce and am happy with them.

visors

Check the catalogues for Fiat and Alfa replacement parts as I think they fit each other. I have heard to look at the Fiat replacements. They have the metal pins rather than plastic and they fit more snugly. As such they do not flop in the breeze.

Sun Visors

There are two types of sun visors. The one to look for has stitching around the perimeter. Without the stitching, the inside stuffing soon begins to lose its shape and they look awful. The perimeter stitching holds the stuffing in place and they remain looking good for years. The visors that I have came out of a mid-80s Spider and they still look good.

Yes, Fiats DO have the metal connectors and they do hold up better.

The Fiat and Alfa visors are interchangable (I have both a couple of Alfa Spiders and a Fiat X1/9). Quite a few of the Fiat guys will use other visors from a local U-Pull-It which can also be altered to fit. One guy that I know had to yield to the desires of his better half, who insisted that if she were going to ride in his Fiat, it had to have a sun visor with a lighted mirror, so that she could comb her hair!!

Don't quote me on this, but I believe one of the other differences is there is no option to purchase the lighted vanity mirror as found on some of S3~S4 variants, just the 'no mirror' or 'inset plastic mirror'.
