Great init!

Shame i've been working

Bought another little mod to neaten up the rear. A rear aero wiper. Had one that used the original arm but that looked awful so got rid of that. Then found this. Had to do a minor alteration but now fits a treat. Works better than the standard one did with a new blade. Will post pics up of the rear soon.

Cool. Need to get that rear wiper myself.

Easy to fit, what's involved? What alterations did you have to do?

Cheers

Very easy to fit. Remove the cap covering the spindle. Remove the nut and its off. Then reverse to place on. I had to sand/file down the cover as when the wiper swung it rubbed on the window and popped up slightly. Other than that a perfect fit. Works twice as good too.

Giving the car a clean on wed so will get some piucs up of it on.

Looks very neat and tidy, where do you get your stuff from?

I fancy doing the same to my Polo - any tips?

I just used some warm water to start. Not boiling though. Poured it over the badges then used an old credit card to prise the badges off. Then I used WD40 to remove the rest of the sticky stuck on the body work. Then give it a nice clean, and your done.

Thanks for the info - I'll give it a try over the weekend.
