friend of mine has a single wiper off an old skoda!!
the washer jets are built into the wiper arm so he could smooth smooooth the bonnet over, and looks pretty cool when you squirt the windscreen too

I made mine by cutting and welding the linkage too, mega simple!
My mate has a monostyle job, part of the linkage rubs on the airfilter for the heater!

PVD sell the monostyle ones.
Plus if you mention Monostyle in a mag feature Phil @ Monostyle will send you a cheque for £10.
Phil is a top bloke, he even fitted my wiper for me

I've got a Monostyle Single Wiper. The linkage on the first one I bought snapped, I rang Monostyle and they took my details and said they would get back to me, but they didn't, so I went to the garage where I bought it and they said they would fit me a new one free of charge and charge Monostyle for it, fair enough. So I pick my car up with new wiper fitted, and 2 days later a brand new linkage comes through the post from Monostyle as a result of my original call. So now I've got a brand new Linkage sat in my garage.

I had one on C13 & on the Punto.
Apart from looking better i wouldn't bother as both of mine were crap in the rain especially heavy down pours
