The McLaren F1 has just one blade and as seen here it is bent with the wiper assembly (to fit the curve of the hood). You may have to angle yours to get a good sweep.

Just to add. You forgot to mention that the McLaren F1 has only one seat up front, positioned in the center of the car, uuummmm, much like a F1 car.

Doesn't the Elise have this as well? They cut everything they can with that car, taking away things that weigh a small percentage of an ounce. It does all add up, but there's no way I would do this. I complain now because I can't get my two wiper blades to go fast enough for my tastes.

You also shouldn't be driving you Elise in the rain though.

If I had an Elise I would drive it in every condition as my spyder, which includes downpours, fog and sunshine.

I don't need words to say what I think!

Dose anybody really leave the wipers in the middle of a wipe and turn the car off? If the wiper was down it wouldn't look so stupid.

Actually a few super cars are set up that way. They leave it in the up position so that it catches less wind.[/b]
Yep, and if anyone assembles a Spyder that will crack 200 mph I will fly to their home and install the single wiper mod for them. :icon_thumright:

This mod doesn't do anything for me one way or the other, as a mod. That is, if it has ever been pulled off correctly, I wouldn't laugh at somebody for doing it.

Where I do have a problem is that in every case I've seen of this done to the Spyder - two cases I'm aware of - the single blade no longer fits down against the ... what do you call it? The fascia? Instead, it seems to stick up about a hand's with up from the bottom and looks as if it did not fully return to where it was supposed to go. This attracts the eye and you wind up looking at it, and that's rice by definition.

I could do it with $50 worth of gearing and a stock motor. May take me 30 minutes to get to 200, but it could be done! :) I'll pass on your offer though.
