    One thought. Would this not be more prone to freezing with the pipe on the outside.

    Anyones experiences on this please.

    surely theres no water lying in the pipes and a bonnet aint gonna keep the tank any warmer unless ur thinking along the lines of the pipes freezing when driving in which case therell be enigne heat?

    Don't think that would be effective towards the nozzle end. Peugeot must have thought about this. I hope.

    If thats true why are cars fitted with heated washer jets. I am not saying your wrong, just raising the point.

    My cousin had this lovely immaculate Mk 2 Golf GTI once. He removed the bonnet blister washer jets and smoothed over and painted the bonnet.

    The bonnet had a handy slotted vent right below the windscreen, and he rigged up the washer jet tubes just inside the vent, angled up at the screen, with little metal nozzles on them to direct the flow. That worked really well and they were practically invisible.
    Just a pity it'd be harder to do with newer bonnets, though I suppose you could angle them up the scuttle or something.
