Basic mods - anyone got any tips on these?

[r0w3r]

Has anyone out there fitted any of the following and do they have any tips on whether they fit OK and how easy are they to fit please?

VW Golf Mk5 rear wiper
Does it fit and does it work?

Honda S2000 radio aerial
Is the base the same size as the standard Seat aerial stalk and does it fit easily?

Many cheers,

im sure both will go on fine! aerial takes a good yank to remove....hold the base and pull is my tip! thats done very easy....

The mk5 wiper should go on but no garantees (sp). what kind of wiper does it have? aero one?

why would you want the mk5 golf wiper?

It's an aero wiper which basically looks nicer than the standard fit. And why not..?

When you say "a slide off the bottom stalk" what do you mean? Is the base of the S2000 aerial too fat or the thread too long to fit into the Leon's base?

I bought an Enfig s2000 aerial from GB on UKMIV's, the screw/thread was not long enough to screw in so i cut a bit of the bottom rubber and no it fits.

Just tried to fit it and the Golf Mk5 rear aero wiper is about 20mm too long for the Leon! So, back it goes...

... but for anyone who wants an aero rear wiper, the VW Passat Estate TDi Sport one does fit. It's the one with the 280mm blade.

I could see the point with changing the wiper on the MK4 GTi for the polo/r32 aero wiper, but on the leon i am lost, can you post i pic to show it fitted.
