Tidy rear end :)

[j.a.kelly]

Tried to smarten up the rear end...

Got the LHD rear cluster to match two white lenses instead of it being odd, and added the HUGE facelift rear wiper.

I expected the rear wiper to be an aero one actually, but its a huge cover and then a standard wiper blade. Just waiting on the new spaced I B I Z A badge.

that wiper is bigger than a fabia one yea?!
smoother all the same tho.
I went for a smaller one, ill get a pic up tonight.

 

[j.a.kelly]

I had the polo aero one on...but it was sctatching my window...so had to go. Knew for def the new one would fit, just dissapointed not aero...and other aero blade wont fit either

ah well

mmmm you have me thinking now,had to bin mine and get a different wiper and motor today,looks like that one might well fit mine,whats the arm/blade length ??

 

[nickibizaCUPRA]

i just put an altea wiper on my cupra but me not thinking it actually hardly wipes at all looks better for now will just have to get a facelift rear wiper instead!

 

[mhill]

Where did you get the rear light lenses from?

 

[orangesprout]

i done the same but have all red lights - no white ones

 

[IainW]

I like that new wiper. The previous one just looks so bad compared to the smooth curvy lines of the car.

 

[T. Spark]

Hmm, personally dont like the two white's deffo wouldnt look right on mine!

But spose its safer

 

[Ant FR]

you needed some FR rear lights personallly

 

[spyke85]

The big question is...does it actually wipe better?

 

[j.a.kelly]

wipes perfectly.

Now the lights are on, they'd def look better all red. Trouble is the reverse light issue. Im going to get FR lights eventually, but just @ the minute iv spent sooo much i cant justify another £130 odd. all reds would look miles better th

U can get the LHD cluster from your dealer, I asked Dave from IMG who has a section on here.

cheers

[j.a.kelly]

sorry jason,

not sure, will look later if i remember. It does look the same shape etc tho?!

[WeeJase]

yeh i think the newer octavia's have something similar,or the mk5 golf floppy type.
tbh either would look better than the one i have now,but it works ,so no real complaint .

[T. Spark]

For a completely useless handyman like myself, is the wiper conversion relatively simple?
