Default Did all Sapphire Cosworths come with.....

......Headlight wipers?

Thinking of getting rid of mine and going a bit smoother and cleaner at the front. The annoying part is I had a de-wipered front grill trim in white from an old cossie and ended up selling it to Harvey Gibb's boy on here at a show

Any help regarding the wipers would be great.

Cheers Billy

I think they add to the classic look of the car, something you don't see any more. Keep them!

They look ace! it's a late 80's early 90's car, I think it suits them and adds to the character. To answer your question, yes they did come with the headlight wipers, any that didn't must've been very rare.
