	# Nip to your friendly neighbourhood Peugeot parts desk, and ask for Peugeot part number 643861 (Bin A6C5)For LHD cars the number is 643860. - a "Spray Ramp". It costs about £11.50 inc. VAT (06-01-2010). It comes with ample tubing already attached. Ample to do the job. Some people have used a similar TVR part, but this costs £12 and your nearest TVR dealer is probably further away than your nearest Peugeot dealer. Alternatively, check the [[Windscreen ~~Wipers~~]] page for details of the Valeo VM15 replacement wiper.		# Nip to your friendly neighbourhood Peugeot parts desk, and ask for Peugeot part number 643861 (Bin A6C5)For LHD cars the number is 643860. - a "Spray Ramp".

	If you want to take it easy you can always use the Elise Shop wiper with integrated spraybar~~. They have two versions. One is about 15 euro's, the other is about 40. For some strange reason I (Friso) I chose the 40 euro variant~~. Here is how I did it on my 2005 S2 111S:		If you want to take it easy you can always use the Elise Shop wiper with integrated spraybar. Here is how I did it on my 2005 S2 111S:

	Start: an Elise with a very dirty windscreen. Mark the position of the original wiper with a piece of tape. In my case this wasn't necessary, since the window was very dirty.

			'''For Later S2 cars'''

			I've just completed this mod on my 111R, using a Valeo VM15 wiper blade.

			This is a simple job, but a little different to the job described here.

			# take both front access panels off
			# unmount the fusebox to give yourself room to work - make sure you don't drop the polythene spacers - you'll never find them again if you do!
			# look & feel for the pipe to the washer sprays - it's black & quite fat
			# because the washer bottle is at the back of the car, you'll feel that it goes through a small non return valve (NRV) before going on to the jets - disconnect the pipe from the washer jet side of the NRV
			# fit the wiper blade
			# route some pipe from the NRV out to the blade - there's space to do this very neatly without drilling, cutting, or even removing the existing jets
			# cable tie everything in place
			# put everything back together
