New front grab handle and drivers sun visor

My new MINI has got a grab handle on the passengers side and an extra sun visor on the drivers side.

The grab handle does not fold away, is as huge and sticky-out as the one above the back seat, and greatly endangers any passengers head! This is a poorly thought through addition. It would be OK if it folded away but it doesnt.

I'm wondering if I can simply remove it and replace it with another side-visor. It looks to me like it uses the same screw holes on both sides... and i'm guessing that the visor is actually just a way to use the spare sockets!

Any ideas?

Cheers,
