buying a punto/marea or whatever rear wiper looks like you can't afford to buy a vauxhall one.. even worse

Aye? They look 10x better imo. The average joe will look at it and not realise the difference.

I use my rear wiper so it might pay to keep the original. Although I do have this week off so can easily sort out a return for the Marea one.
Thanks anyway people

black gromit on black car looks good... you wont even know it was gromitted at night and barely see it in the light.
i will get a semi-smooth boot when i need it..just at the moment i dont need it and it makes the rear look much nice than having a silly corsa wiper hanging over. its just a simple 99p fix till i gather money for a smooth over.

Looks like a Punto one to me, as there looks like a gap between where the arm bolts onto the mount on the car. This is what I meant in my post 2 years ago on page 1, the Marea one I had fitted better - perfectly flush. I didn't have any problems with it wiping onto the paint either. It bolted straight on and worked as good as the standard one.

Hmmm, it's just when the wiper is at its furthest position when operated, the left hand side goes off the window.
