Personally don't think it's worth it but each top their own.

Exhaust is rediculous tbqfh, good job your getting rid.
 
I don't get this idea tbh. If it's because of the 'euro thing' people go in for, you need to remove your tints, take off that exhaust & drop the car about 70mm. Then the whole 'look' might work.

Hope you didn't trip over the exhaust...

I think de-wipering is cool but it looks like a huge nip, IMO. I would smooth it down and re-paint it.

I did mine but instead of using a shitty grommit, I filled and painted the surround to match the car. Mine was purely for weight saving as a pose to looks aswell.

See I'm trying not to be biased here, but I do think it suits the VTShed...TBH.

As what Cat said really....do Euro properly. But I'm sure its work in progress :)

No you spack, on the Clio! I de-wipered the VTS because the motor was knackered and a grommit is 20p ;)

I know you de-wipered the Clio. c**k-face :(

But you also did the VTS, hence me commenting on it because it looked half decent for little effort ;)

i got the rubber grommit from halfords, a pack of some for about £1.30 :)

I dunno about anyone else, when driving on a motorway in the rain, the rear window gets covered in shite, and you need to use wiper? :S

Looks good all the same.
