Need more info on your side visor
Just an opinion. The 2012 R60s do come with the side visor. Arguably it is much better than having no side sun protection--but. I have had my CMs for 4 days now and I find myself wishing the visor could have extensions or some other way to fill gaps or extend coverage. Perhaps I will feel differently when i have the windows tinted. Other than that--I LOVE this car.

"According to Mike Bennett at Mini of South Atlanta (where I ordered mine from), the correct part number for a 2012 CM in Anthracite is 51169809235. This is a different part number from the other Mini's."

I know this thread is old and probably dead but I just bought a 2011 Countryman and I need a driver side visor. Could somebody confirm that the part numbers posted will work? Also could somebody repost any pictures, as they were removed? Thanks for anything!

Side visors for 2011 CM
Go with real oem. As stated earlier you can use side visors made for hardtop or CM but there are two issues. The headliner needs to be changed if you want the visor to sit flush with roof when up. Plus the side visor on CM is not nearly as efficient as on other MINIs. I had/have visor on my Clubman and used a lot. I put visor on my 2011 CM and found I didn't use it much.
Then you can plug them into our site search (top right corner of our site ), the 11 digit number, watch for the ones with sunroof and non sunroof.

Please post a Pic if you still have this vehicle
I fitted the visor yesterday - I flipped the visor 180 deg in its mounting so now the visor curves towards the roof
Note the metal retention clip that is on the pivot of the visor fits in either housing so there is no need to remove it from the visor
I think it looks much better and does not poke out at all - will post a picture if anyone is interested
