I don't know what you mean by the window visors. There were factory front mudguards, but I think they're probably NLA at this point. AFAIK, there were only ever factory rears available for the pre-facelift R50s, and I've never seen a set of those in person. They've been near-unobtanium for years, but they do exist. They look a bit weird to me because they get taped over the rear trim.

Edit: This is what the fronts look like.

Oh, I guess I did know what you meant. I assumed you were talking about something else because couldn't figure out how one would attach with the frameless doors and rain gutter design. I've never seen anything like that for an R50.

I saw someone fabbed one in another thread, the frameless window was cited as a reason why. I appreciate the response though- trying to get form an image of what I want this car to look like.

Also known as window spoilers like the Team Heko I had on my Volvo S80. It must be because of the missing door frame. Else the door would not open off course...
