i use sunstrips for the same reason in the past i have used shorter blades or even trimmed the wiperblades to miss the strip next time i fit a sunstrip to the mk1 when its done i will be temped to fit a blue seethrough tint one like i had on the mk2 not quite so in your face liking the idea of putting it on the inside to hide it a bit

cranks hitting the dipstick lifting it up the tube seen this happen several times

all the problems in this country an they seem to nit pick its hardly crime of the centry

very true but to a trained eye they are differant mainly around the back of the grill the edges are differant you wont win concours with repro parts, what ever floats your boat i suppose personaly i would spend £20 on a grill an the rest making it faster
