Great.

Can you give some information about the bonnet dampers?

Bonnet damper (just one) came from an Audi 80 or A4.
Had to make 2 brackets, one fitted to the battery hold down bracket on the strut tower, and another welded to the bonnet inner panel.

Not long, had to fit a washer to it because the Alfa splines are slightly bigger than the Mazda ones. :thumbsup:

rather than going through that much trouble, you could've used the mazda6 or 3 wiper like most others have done

Wasn't any trouble, and I've never heard of anyone using the6 or 3 wiper.....
probably because they don't fit.

Other options might be the Opel Corsa, Renault Clio, Fiat Punto etc....
You needa short wiper arm, because the P5 window is quite small.
Audi A3 has a nice wiper too.

Ah, the Mazda 6 WAGON.......
You should have said so. 8-)

My wiper cost me £5, compared to a 6 wiper, which would have cost me about £30. :bye:

Mazda3 wiper does NOT fit. Some dude at the mazdas247.com-forum said that it would, but it doesn't fit, it's too long!!

Yeah it's definitely too long. My Mazda6 wiper even rubs on the underside of my spoiler, I had to file it down a bit.
