The HAlfords ones don't fit, and they look shit anyway!! I have done it now, popped out and got some spray paint, rubbed them down with a bit of sand paper, cleaned them off with white spirit, primed them with touch up primer and then gave them 3 coats of Flame Red ;-) Look mint - I'll get some pics if anyones interested...

Ive doen mine, its easy enuff, open the bonnet and pop them out from underneath (they have little catches to keep em in so a little screwdriver is handy). Disconnect from pipe (tape this to outside of bonnet so it doesnt pull back inside), clean em up and degrease, pop some blu tac into the hole where the actual jets are (youll see what i mean when u have em out) so they wont get clogged with paint. Prime and spray then fit em back in (remove blu tac of course), simple.

A few weeks back, I saw a post on painting your washer jets but now I can't find it!

Has anyone attempted this as they look dull and would be much better colour coded!!

Any advice appreciated.
