My mates got some off a VW camper.

They are taller than the nova jets and have 2 holes to squirt.

They are about 5mm taller than the nova jets and are in the shape of a mini pyramid.

Personally i think they look well smart but do stand quite tall so may not look quite right on a smooth nova.

Surely it's about time someone came up with a flush fitting washer jet? I know I'd buy some.

my mates old astra mk 3 i think had the same thing as the neons 1s (shape, doubel jets) and look ok, just a bigger version of the nova 1, but beware wiht 4 jets rather then 2 the bottel will empty quicker

erm,

here's a new concept, try fitting some merc style ones, the ones that are stuck to the wiper arm, they are so much more effective and have 3 jets on each wiper, gets rid of any unwanted sludge and dead flys!

I will post a how to in this forum once I have done it. Got a few other things to do to me new shell first.

No more than 5-10 quid, come on what is your nova worth?!?!

They do an excellent job in mercs, why can't they do a good/excellent job on novas, plus it will get rid of the horrible jets on the front.

I would think they would be best on a single wiper conversion cos they spray infront of the wipers and the two jets will just be messy compared to the smooth action of the wiper.

If you can find a merc sprinter one wiper also has a 'spoiler' on it which hides the lot (pipe too) from the front.

I will show you all what it is like soon, I have ordered the parts from merc now.

P.S i think they clip on or there are two screws through the wiper arm.

halford (not ripspeed) sell plain black washer jets that are as powerful and have as good a coverage, if not better than the neon's
all for less than a fiver,
