Owing to the deletion of the rear windscreen wiper system on the forethcoming Works GP model, BMW and John Cooper Garages' best technical minds have been spending many hours coming up with a great new leading edge technological answer to the obvious problem posed of not fitting a rear windscreen wash/wipe system to one of the worst cars ever made ofr rear visibility in poor weather.

I can now reveal the solution. Said to be made up of specially developed space age lightweight water absorbing materials, the all new John Cooper Works GP Lightweight Fluid Application and Grime Removal Device is said to out perform all other after market models.

Cost will be £275, plus local taxes and fitting.

Scroll down for further details.....

Yes, but interestingly, you cant actually see it from the photos but the underside has been especially formed using wind tunnel techniques, so that, although it still has a really square un-aerodynamic shape, its got a much reduced drag co-efficient (almost unbelievably so in fact) so that it goes much faster than identically shaped non Works sponges over your rear screen.

Where have I heard THAT before...

Sorry, no photos of the underside as its a secret.

Does it come colour coded to match and will it have a spot light option for use at night
