    yeh people have done it...
    You need to open the boot and squeeze the underside of the jet together and push up...that removes the jet...
    Then you need to filler/weld the hole up, prep and paint...
    and your done...

    As for the pipe that went to the washer jet you can either just run it down the side of your boot, or some people sylicone it up and put a bolt in the end and tuck it away somewhere to stop any water from comming out...

    Thats about it...hope that helps (ive not done it so no pics soz)

    no idea lol, take the jet out (or get one from the scrappy) then either fiddle around in cars in the scrappy see if you can find one the same size...orrr take the washer jet to halfrauds or somthing and guess lol...(or if your really technical, measure the hole lol)

    nope, the only reason why i de-wipered was, is because the rear wiper motor went lol every cloud and all that. no one ask how it went
