No pics sorry, camera's in Tenerife

But, just washed, waxed, & polished the corsa, its looking like a mirror now

Anyway, only done a few little cheap mods..


    Tigra Scuttle Added
    New front wiper arms & blades
    Finally got rid of the "16V" badge on the boot.
    Clear side repeaters

Need new rear wiper now as it doesn't have one on there at the moment, because it got damaged the other night.

Anyway, thought i'd tell y'all.

You need a little bung for the wiper! Makes a big difference!

It really isn't! Take off the panel off the back of the boot and unscrew the motor, taking off the arm from the motor is the hardest bit! I think we just pulled it!

the wires for the motor need to be disconnected, it will be to your left and cable tied, cut the cable tie and undo the clip. i think there is another bolt to be undone, should have a brown wire below it. undo the bolt holding the wiper on
