yep its on the outside :!:
the passanger wiper only slightly touches it but the drivers one went over a bit (about 30-40mm) due to what valsheda said re. the mot and the blades must not go over more than 20mm i fitted a smaller blade today to see how it affects the vision etc. and its fine so mine is fully mot complient :lol:
but to be honest i cant see any decent mot tester failing it as it doesnt impeed the vision at all - i drive with the top of my head allmost touching the roof and with the visor down i can only just see the bottom of the banner :!:

Latest upgrade - ive fitted a set of removable rear seats - so we can now seat 9 :D and enough room for a decent sized boot :D

Image

had to do this as were all on a day trip to blackpool tomorrow :P :lol:

Image

there not as quick release as the other set but i dont intend the be using them much. they still bolt on from inside using m16 bolts. I did origanally get this seat for my mk1 but ive had a better idea :idea: more news on that later :lol:

You only need two tools in life: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.
