Was just wondering what peoples views on this are.

 

i've got welding to do so to tack a plate in place and ditch the rear wiper and motor isnt really an issue.

 

i know there's a weight loss to it, and obviously the smooth look.

 

so what does every body else think?

Mines smoothed over bud!! Makes it look nice n clean. No issues with rain etc

My DD is a Zafira and haven't had a rear wiper since I've owned it. never missed it lol.

 

 

I think the smooth look is the way to go. thinking about ditching the front side repeaters as well, but i still thinking what to replace them with.

I had mine removed and smoothed too, bit of a pain not being able to see out sometimes but its worth it :)

Thinking the same to be honest, don't like the rear wiper look at all on the zed

Think i'll ditch it, im getting rid of the Arial and as said thinking of the indicators as well. so might just do the lot lol

I decided to go for the smooth look (aerial + wiper) while I was having the sills and arches done.

Best decision I made, looks so much better now.

I got rid of mine and with limo tints on the rear window, i cant see diddly squat anyway :biggrin:

Neil, you have pm re today at Cambridge. can you reply

 

cheers

ps dont forget about legal issues of side repeaters

No offence bud, but that sounds like an awful idea, both aesthetically and legally.

 

I've had my rear wiper and aerial removed and it does give for a cleaner look. I was always dead-set against it until I realised I could do it without leaving the car with redundant switch gear and a rear window washer doing nothing.

Digress?

Well, the rear wash squirter now has a roof mount aerial in situ...like so...

 

 

As for the switch gear. I have a spare pod here that I am going to use thinners on to dissolve the lettering for the rear wash pipe and where the little lever is, I'm just on the look out for an AC pod from a convertible, will probably end up getting that from the States and will just transfer over the small blanking plate.

 

I agree it does look better without - it certainly updates the car a bit; especially with the roof-mount aerial like Si has fitted.....

 

......And as for the lack of wiper, most modern saloons and (high-end German) coupes don't have a rear wiper anyway! Just coat the rear window with Rain-Ex on a regular basis; or apply car wax to it, and the water will run off anyway!!

Or don't drive it in the rain! lol :)

I took my rear wiper of but when it came to fitting the car back up i used the get wash pipe from the rear and swaped it over cas i wanted control over my water get even if my wipers are going or not plus the front washer motor gave up yhe ghost. so until i thix that im glad that was there to use aswell otherwise no mot for me.later when ive fixed the proper motor ill poss put it back cas ive an idea to use that swith for something else.

Qué?

 

Qué?
