Looking good mate, i like the single wiper.

Considering getting one of those for mine.

So how difficult was it to fit, did it take long? 8)

well it wasn't that difficult, just made things abit more interesting fitting it in gale-force winds, the only problem was getting my head round how to park the wiper sucessfully, i wanted it just over towards the passenger side slightly, otherwise its a tad off-putting!
it took about 2hrs to fit

Cool, yeah it's just a tad wild out there.

I'd like it to park right over at the passenger side as far out of the way as possible.

Looking good mate, did you airbrush your speaker grills yourself?

Tom..
I bought them off ebay! lol
from a german bloke who also sold me some other bits, yet to be fitted in that same colour-scheme
he does a good job to say the least!

I'd agree with that - even canted slightly to the right it will affect your vision and in the event of the unthinkable - I didn't see the lorry cos my wiper was in the way might not cut it with the insurance company :roll:

funny you should say that aaron! it happened the day after i fitted it! ....
the wiper is quite good actually, 2 problems i have with it is...
1. The smooth cover that i've got on it rattles so its going to need something a little more than just the cable ties that were supplied to fit it properly!

2. because i have the wiper set near the middle when it wipes it goes once over drivers side then all the way back to the passenger side so the whole window is clean...BUT and this is a big BUT, it has to return to its original position near the centre thus the blade screeches across the already wiped glass! a nasty niggle i know, might just put it in the usual position methinks

Thanks for the comments
