I was heading south doing 70mph and the heavens opened up big time,the rear screan was bone dry for miles,I then slowed down for roadworks to 40MPH and I could not see out the rear screen after that.

I dont think it gets as dirty though because when it dries you can see through the thin layer of dirt.

I have now washed it and re-fitted the front plate

Snow use

Is everyone planning on using their GP in snow? I was just wondering, because I have a civic Si now and a deposit on a GP Works. I'm still hedging back and forth because i'd be using the GP Works as a daily driver (I commute about 4 miles to work). I'd have to use it occasionally in the snow. Just wondering as to everyone's opinion on that. Thanks.

Yeah I think he is. I played around with it at the motorshow and it did feel flimsy.
