Rear wiper on or off?

[L9 GOW]

Hi all!
fairly new on here.
been doing some tidying up on my car since i got it as it had some tacky wheels on it,lexus lights and was sitting as high as big ben,
its a 2000 yellow ibiza cupra,
so i got some standard wheels and painted them black, shocker i know!
fitted some coilovers, now its lower than my mums morals,
binned the lexus lights for some standard ones
and fitted a lcr front splitter,( now it does a better job of clearing the roads than the local snow plow )
next on my list is the rear wiper!
I don't know weather to get rid of it all together as i would'nt miss it or to replace it with an areo one from a fabia?
please help!
all comments and opinions welcome
thanks guys ( and gals )

keep it for winter, but get rid for summer, it looks soo much smoother without one, and if you cant see out the back window, you know it needs a good wash!!

Agreed with Daymo mate...

or even in the winter keep it off and buy some rain-ex... looks miles better when I done mine

thinking of doing the same to mine, is it easy to do??? also where you get a blank from to fillin the hole???

 

[s1l3nc3r]

get rid. Done mine not so long ago the only things to note are pull the hose off the ress in the engine bay incase u accidently catch the rear wash wipe. U can get the grommet to fill the hole from halfords or somthing like that its 25mm iirc tnere a thread about it look under de-wipering...

That, is comical genius

btw you can also get a black glass circle to fill the hole flush and make it look more OE. I bought mine from German ebay for around £16-17 IIRC but haven't got round to fitting it yet - I've provided more details in another de-wipering thread so a quick bit of searching should bring it up.
