Single wiper conversion

[JKeillor94]

Im not sure what section this topic belongs... but anyway, has anyone ever done this kind of thing before? Just 1 wiper in the middle of the windscreen, i reckon flipping the motor upside down and modifying the arm somehow might do it but im not too sure.
Any guidance is a blessing!

Tia.

Only had power and earth. So was either on or off

Did it on my 172 years ago. It was totally w**k. Was on the car a month and had to go back to standard.

Single wiper kit with longer blade.

Doesn't look great either looking back.

Definitely not a good look in my opinion, a bit 90s Max Power

This.
Smoked lights and DTM mirrors next?

He'll probably go for tinted 4d plates in twenty years time!

it was a great mod back in the 90s!! Golf Mk2 with a DTM single wiper that rested in the middle.

90s mods were mint.

One day you will look back with 'should have listened'.

It was the rage when I was 17 tbh. 23 years ago.

f**king hell is it 1995 or something? Single wiper conversion??

Next you'll be on M3 mirrors, Lexus lights and TSW venoms.

Lol - thats such a funny comment, I'm surprised no one said something similar 6 hours earlier!

Apart from dog s**t bodykits made of cheap fibreglass ha

Was cool stuff too; proper ICE installs (if that's your thing), power boost valves (now standard in most cars, lolz), TSW wheels, er...................ok you have a pt

At least they were individual tho! Nowadays everyone has exactly the same stuff.

Think my first car (fiesta 1.0) was something like 18 seconds or something to 60 lol. Topped out at 90 :/. Mates 1.1 topped out at 95, good times.

mk2? My first car was a red mk3 K reg 1.3lx with XR2i (185 60 13 tyres!) steelies.

 

[mossyv6]

That is/was Pinky I was well into my novas back then.

Yes looking back at the cars now you think some of them are wtf but I personally loved the late 90’s - max power, fast car, car cruises, the burn outs, the banter - absolutely brilliant!!

Yeah MK2. At the time I could have bought a grey MK2 xr2, d reg iirc. Was £650. Sadly my parents went the safe route

I had a mk2 Fiesta 1.1 as my first car, used to get a bit more top end by pulling the choke out. Good times!

Asked for guidance, not bloody opinions [emoji106]

Everyone slating the 90's mods.
Yea, a lot if it looked like dog s**t but at the end of the day, it was different, people showed their taste in mods etc.
Now everyone jumps on a bandwagon and does the same thing to their car as the last person... [emoji42] the scene is pretty dead nowadays, we cant have fun at meets even... its all static and looking at someones mapped fez with a pop and bang map [emoji849]

What can’t you do at meets anymore? Drive around with maccy d’s trays under the rear wheels trying to pull 15 year old girls?

Have actual fun and go on a track day, I am however a massive hypocrite as i did exactly the same as you when I had nothing better to do in the evenings/before I had a gf/grew up, I even did some s**t mods to my old cars as well, thankfully no body kits though.
