Wiper stays! But it will of course be the BMW arm and small wiper as fitted now.

Still not 100% sure about that spoiler yet!
Will probably spray can it black and do a temporary fix and see again then if I like it.

Today I cut the plate and tack welded into place!




In this pic you can see up under so shows a bit of the push button latch.

The plate has a double thickness at the edge. I bent over approx 1/2" to give it a bit of strength as that will be used to lift the hatch.
What you cant see is the side contour. That still needs some work as it bows out over the latch.
So the finished article may not be as I had hoped but hey needs must.
See if I like it when its done.

Saw this roof spoiler on a Mk3 in Tenerife!




Definitely an aftermarket fitting as on second pic you can see the grommets in the glass holes!

So I shall be looking for one like this!
