flukey-lukey Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 *sigh* Grommits any one? Gromits would stand out and look daft imo. Get a quote from a bodyshop to filler it and paint it, shouldn't imagine it'll be very expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supRo Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Welded would be best - That's what was done to mines by the bodyshop - did the washer jet hole too. Ro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 Looks nice Ro, did they just weld sand and blend or repain the whole shabang? Cost much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Looks nice Ro, did they just weld sand and blend or repain the whole shabang? Cost much? I had to have rust sorted around the glass so that's why I thought I'd get all the holes filled. It was completely re-sprayed. It was about £400 from GVN - They are expensive but usually do a very good job. Glass needed taking out and new seals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueangel Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Mine was done also while i had the car in the bodyshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 If you want to do it on the cheap then just remove the wiper and stick one of those door stoppers over the motor arm. Jamiep's had one of those since he bought it. It's ugly, but still looks better than with the wiper in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 Cheers guys Its not that i want to do it on the cheap, its so that i can have something other than red tape as temp measure so i can decide fully if i want a wiper or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
