Wiper arm cover replacement
Hi all. I would like to know if the 206cc came with the wiper arm cover that seems to be fitted to the majority of the 206 models? If so, that's annoying as mine is missing! If anyone could help me source a part number for this (bearing in mind that mine is a LHD model so it may be different to a UK part number) I would be truly grateful.

Looking at service box, the left hand drive it isn't fitted with the cover but yes the right hand drive it is - very odd indeed !!

Ah ok, thank's for the information. It's a bit strange as the bonnet still seems to have the cut-out or recess (call it what you will!) for the cover to sit in!

Re: Wiper arm cover replacement
According to the Service Box Documentation, only the RHD model has the "box". It is not supplied as a separate part, but comes with the arm.
Just a guess, but I think it's due to the RHD driver's side wiper having an articulated arm, to ensure the RHS of the screen is well wiped, and the cover is for the articulation mechanism. The LHD model probably does not need the articulation, because its driver's side wiper travels into the side of the screen without it.
YouTube video here. Title of the video is confusing - should be RHD.
