	quote: Originally posted by dswsilver you dont consider it a "mod" you dont want a semi smooth boot. so why are u doing it.?? treat the rust then put wiper back on. IMO Just consider it a standard, cleaner alternative to the rear wiper, to which I might add I hardly ever use. I will treat the rust, then refit the grommet.

	quote: Originally posted by richc TBF i would prefer a wiper as it is more practical (i like to see through a perfectly clean windscreen and rear screen.

It's not a "mod" just a replacement for the rear wiper that looks cleaner. I'm not into paying £000's on smoothing bodywork or any of that jazz. You're right it does look alright. A lot cleaner imo than the rear wiper.

	quote: Originally posted by Matty G looks like a bit of a pikey mod. keep the wiper on there! Not a mod. Some base model corsas never had a wiper and had a grommet fitted as standard. Not paying £150-£200 to have my boot flushed. I reckon it looks cleaner so the grommet shall stay :)

	:( Suffering from rust beneath the wiper :mad: Going to sort that at the weekend. Going to do paint it with rattle cans. "NOoooooooooooooooooooo", I hear you say, well I removed the rev 1 3 piece spoiler off my old red MR2 and filled the 3 holes either side and sprayed with colour match from Halfords, wet and dried it and T-cutted till me arms were massive. Looked factory :thumbs: The wiper and motor weighs just over 1Kg :! [Edited on 26-02-2008 by 16V_1600]
