Not much to be at tonight so i thought id ask u guys ... Has anybody made any subtle touches to the exterior/interior of their 406 which they feel has made a big difference in a good way??

Are these subtle?

I also like the aero wipers, the stainless exhaust, oh and the "406oc" stickers

Only on the coupe unfortunately

. On the other models the washer jets are hidden under the back edge of the bonnet....

oo, in which case, the washer mod i did on my pug 306 with the 405 wash bar system would work..... these clip onto the wipers and you need to extend the washer piping slightly...

Yeah I used to like them on the 405, don't understand why that system wasn't more popular

Hey Matt, you could always drill a couple of holes in your bonnet...

Had the squirter on the wiper on the BXs, seemed to work ok so I can only think the old-fashion sort are cheaper to make. Umm, I don't think it would just be a case of extending the piping, some of it's actually the rear bonnet seal, you'd need to re-run it all from the back corner.

How does a wiper nozzle work? I mean you'd end up with very limited spray area unless it were like a sprinkler all along the arm, and then you'd miss the centre bottom if you were moving at speed...?

Wonder if I could get hold of a *substantial* washer motor... 100 amp jobbie... really get the windscreen clean... hmmmm

It's a long time ago but I seem to remember it was a folded tube with holes along it.
