The F15 was worthless for sunglasses : too small and poor design. Good riddance.

That clip on case for the sun visor looks good

unfortunately living in London and the given crime rates - (if its not tied down its typically stolen) would make the car more of a target, had friends whose car have been broken into for the spare change on display in the ashtray!

the F15 was good with the sunglass holder next to the rear view mirror, had to put with a few scratches given wasnt big enough for the case, just glasses.
