My driver's side sun visor clip broke the other day. This one only lasted 3 years. So while searching for a replacement set, I stumbled across a discussion on Rennslist regarding using a VW clip that has a metal loaded spring. This seems like a better design, and it even has a cover for the screws. Best part is, seems they are cheaper to buy than the Porsche ones, even the cheap knock off versions.

Heres the linky:

http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforums/924-931-944-951-968-forum/288836-improved-visor-clips.html

Part numbers:

3B0 857 561 BY20 . . . $4.68 . . . Pearl grey
3B0 857 561 BB41 . . . $5.01 . . . Black
3B0 857 561 B8YS . . . ($.?.) . . . Light Beige

For the clip-on dress cover:

3B0 857 563 BY20 . . . $1.70 . . . Pearl grey
3B0 857 563 BB41 . . . $1.70 . . . Black
3B0 857 563 B8YS . . . $1.70 . . . Light beige

The VW part numbers are correct and are much better quality that the Porsche. However, pricing is much higher. I talked the local VW/Porsche dealer down from $13 to $9. Not cheap but you gotta have them.

Pelican has the factory ones for around $14 each, so not really.

But check the part#s here:

These are available on ebay for about $US11. They have black and grey. I have ordered a couple. They agreed to ship them outside the US using a cheaper option when I contacted them.
