had this a fair few weeks now, wanted another after the first cupra i had which was a diesel, thought id try the 20VT petrol this time instead as seems for more modding abilities.

The mods sound good, not to OTT. Looking forward to updates.

Why would you take the rear wiper off?

You can drill it to give you more noise, but you can also put a couple of cold air feed pipe into the help get more air in!

Very clever. Seriously though, why?

[MGZRod]

Windows at that angle often do'nt need the wipers. It is purely an asthetic thing but looks quite smart when removed.

I had one of these and found the rear wiper really handy. The spoiler seems to push a lot of air over the rear window so didn't clear it as well as I might have hoped.

Don't most people put a Fabia wiper on as they look much tidier?

[Doofus]

I'm astonished that people actually give a toss about how their rear wiper looks

I'm sorry I dared to ask ... nothing mentioned about OEM look in the OP.



It's "smoothed", btw.

Whats the point of a "OEM look" airbox, surly it's making the modifications done worse than they could be.
