I have been approached by a Storm Wipers Ltd in Worcester who make 95% of the Single [arm] wiper blade systems.

They have been requested to supply their system to the NZ V8 series but require a car to be able to develop the system.

So, if you fancy helping out, give Nick [Sanders] a call on 01905 380000.

Off course, once the device is fitted to your car, you will be entitled to keep it..FOC!!!

Hi, yes we are Storm Wipers Ltd! we have been trading for over 11 years now making single wipers for the race and recreational market and have been approached by the New Zealand V8 racers who would like a good single wiper unit for their race series cars!
short of jumping on a plane to NZ with our workshop attached to us we really need someone to help us in the developement of this product.

If there is anyone out there who is willing to let us have a look at their car, (no chopping or body mods needed), then please get in touch either by e-mail Nick@stormwipers.com or give us a call on 01905 380000 between 9-5 weekdays.

We are based in Worcester about 5mins away from junction 6 of the M5

Thanks again to Chris (BO55 VXR) for the tread on this page and hope to hear from one of your guys soon

Thanks Again
Nick Sanders
Director

Will, all you need now is a set of side-exit pipes for the authentic V8 Supercar look!
Seriously, I'd have defo. had side exits if there had been a kit available. I remember a thread discussing it, don't think anyone here has ever fitted them though.

Thought I'd better post.............I contacted this company too, by phone and Email on same day as post and left home and mobile number. No response to mail, no reply to phone calls (3 over 2 days, 1 in morning, 1 midday, 1 afternoon, all transferred to mobile, left message).
Called 2 days later as no reply, got thru to chap on his mobile who said he would respond to my Email on his return to the office. That was 6 days ago. Repeated Email yesterday in case lost, no reponse.

Forewarned is forearmed.

Hate this sort of thing. No excuse unless some disaster has happened to the bloke. Mailed this to him:-

'Unless some disaster has happened to you, and apologies if it has, not the way to run a business.
