Have a Storm kit on my S2, it's coming off though once I have the bits to convert it back again.

Ghey, i mean proper gay... its not like its a BBTC RS500!

Stick with the 2 wipers. Plus if you did go down the single wiper route you'll need to modify the scuttle panel otherwise it'll look camp gay!
