Im thinking of moving my widescreen washer bottle to behinde the bulk head or inside the car, I would welcome some advice on best place to move it to, how to mount it, what bottle to use. If any of you have done this before, which im sure you have please let me know. Thanks.
Mines sit where the battery was, chopped the mount off the NSF strut, made a small 90* bracket then welded the mount to the bracket then the bracket in to where the battery was.
Washer bottle from a 1ltr / Saloon (small one), clips in & out no bother.

thasa damn good idea m8, i might have to do something along the lines of that :thumb:
im thinking it might aid handling and even aerodynamics a minescule bit having the washer bottle in the boot, and the overflow in its place, any idea where to get hold of the washer pipes to extend the line ? im wondering if the jets are gonna loose pressure as the line's so long, ive never seen a rear one cain out like the fronts do, or is that controlled by voltage i wonder

Its a tigra washer bottle (should be the same as the corsa). It will fit with no mods to the linkage. You have to heat the tab on the bottle and bent it to 90deg. Its then just a case of making up the bracket as you can see in the pics. I'm also going to add a lip at the rear to steady the tab you see in the pics.
