MK4 Wiper Mod

Has anyone fitted a Skoda Fabia rear wiper on their Polo?
VAG parts sell a wiper cover which sits flush over existing wiper, but also suggested the Skoda item for a slicker finish.

Thoughts / alternative suggestions?

Thx..

Rainex!
Good stuff, used generously in my previous MkII Golf VR6.
Works a treat!

Toastie, have your coilovers been ordered?
When dyou think they'll get fitted?

Need to drop the Dragon Green soon.
I'm really confused on the wheels front, your cups suit the car well and 16s is the way forward with 60mm drop.

Can you think of any websites where numerous examples of modded Polos exist? (apart from this Forum).

Peace!

the dished look ala Cups/Brocks is growing on me

I've always liked the "spokes to the end" look as well as BBS but on the Polo this doesn't seem to suit as well as a dished rim.

Need some inspiration.....

But does anyone knows if the Skoda Fabia will fit the MKIV? Or is it too big?

I was considering buying one, but I worry it wont fit


Any thoughts?

The Fabia's wiper is slightly too big for Mk4 Golfs, so it'll be way too big for Polo's.

Or at least, that's what I'd expect.

I'm settled for now on the standard rear wiper, although need to check ou the estate's!

Speedlaw - leathers are AWESOME - RS4 it would appear!

U coming down to the Polo Show (Northampton)?
