Haven't always been a liker of no rear wiper or badges :rolleyes: but as i got myself a decent condition tailgate which was badgeless i decided to remove the wiper also and see how it looked,now after a few days i really like how it looks even with a standard badge (which is staying) also like the rear spoiler which was the main reason for getting the tailgate also the glass has a slight tint too so that's another bonus :smiley: well after sorting out both the wiring looms i got it fitted along with two vgc doorcards....
Took a few general pics today :laugh:

Yes like removing those GTI badges seeing as what's under the bonnet is an insult to the icon :whistle:

seen them on the internet i like the look of them most likely to get one as the grommet is temp solution :afro:

Im still reppin the halfords £1.50 bung on mine :grin: does look better dewipered :cool:
-
I want to dewiper mine but my rear window always gets dirty how do you guys without rear wipers live with that haha
-
Side mirrors :grin:
-
I tend to concentrate more on whats in front of me. :wink: it doesnt instantly get so mucky its zero visability so 90% of time you are right, that 10% you just utilise mirrors more same as if you drive a van!

Im not lazy, i clean my window when i cannot see out of it :grin:
-
I'm doing this as my rear wiper is worse than not having one at all. I can always see out of the back as I have major OCD and all dirt is immediately arrested.
-
Ok im going to do this over the weekend then haha
is this the type of bung i need

would work yes, but if you go Halfords you can get a rubber grommet bung that costs about 20p. iirc there 21 mm
i.e like this

Looks spot on baxxy :afro:

I have no wiper on the back - I bought it like that.
I'd give anything to have a wiper back again. The rear window is dirty in days after a full wash :(
I even have mud flaps on to try and limit the dirt getting thrown up.
If MOT's, Tax, Insurance, general repairs, etc would just ease up I would buy the motor and arm!
-
Good luck on waiting for them to ease up :grin: they want more every year :angry:
I have a wiper and motor when debadged mine but will be putting it back on soon as i am selling up otherwise would have tossed it your way :wink:
