Has anyone done this conversion themselves at any point?
Can anyone recommend a single windscreen wiper conversion kit for the 306 please?
I don't really want to pay above £100. What are the more cost-effective options?
NB: I contacted Storm today, but they no longer make them.

I had 2 over the years. Don't bother there shit. The weight of the wiper just strips the splines on anyspeed over intermediat. There also a nightmare to set up and once you use it it knocks the park out so it gets stuck on the skuttle. Mine were both storm kits also

Hi Kyle, thanks for saving me a lot of money. I will stick to two wiper blades then.

Some people have hacked there rear wipers to park in the middle, I guess the same could be done on the ZX one and yeah it looks cool, BTCC style.

Didn't know the zx came with single wipers, is that on all models? Good to know if I ever fancy a single wiper on the cheap..
