Anonymous Unregistered A	As this is to do with styling on my Coupe, I thought I'd post this hear. Can anyone advise on where I can buy a single (or just a few) as a minumum purchase, grommetts for a hole approx 36mm diameter? Halfords ones are too small, www.grommetts.co.uk stock this size but have a min order of £25 or 1000 grommets . Any help would be much appreciated.

Anonymous Unregistered A	As expected the rear window spoiler Im fitting will affext the rear wiper so I definatly need it removed ASAP. Please post details of what size Grommet you need. I remember a thread on the old forum where someone had pics of their rear wiper removed.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Apologies for the delay in responding - been busy fitting Eibachs. The link to follow is Auto Sparks Online Catalogue , and you need to buy the 1½" blanking grommet, which is shown almost at the end of the page. It fits, but is a little bit of a squeeze, but once in place looks perfect.
