iirc there about 14-15mm...as the wiper nut is 12mm 
I'll measure mine tomorrow if i get a chance.
Bumhats, I thought halfords would have done 'em, I'd do a trawl of any other local motor factors too. Then a wander around the local brakers yard. Let us know how ya get on. Might be something I need at some point too.

i didnt thunk they where thaat big lol. my bad :S
i dont see the need to remove the rear wiper though...it comes in handy. fair engough if you have a stripped out micra like toneys your saving weight...but if you have all the interior in i dont see the point...you might aswell just buy a base model if you dont want a rear wiper.. or a base model boot so its doesnt have a wiper anyway and you dont have to cover the hole with a nasty looking rubber bung lol.
just my 2ps worth.

too big, oh ok i'll try smaller then,it measured at 25mm diameter though?
My car is completley white,de stickered,de badged
,De bump stripped,Currently colour coding rear boot handle to match and then doors
Its also got jet black tinted windows as well,cant really see a huge amount out of them anyway and cars will only be used now and again. Also if the basic model can get away with not having one,why cant i?
Its not for weight its for looks,the car is all white and clean with this huge horrible black wiper sticking out. It looks better imo,just need the blanking grommit,this will be colour coded as well if it takes to the spray can etc.
Was thinking of just getting a another boot but cant be arsed to swap tinted window and super s spoiler etc,also paint might not match
I'll have a look in halfords when i go in there and see what they have got?

im sure i tried to do this on mine with a 25mm blanking gromit from halfords and it just fell through the hole, if you're starting with a whole in the boot ie no rubber left from the wiper, i measured it a 32mm if i remember correctly. but i couldnt find one big enough anywhere, but dont quote me on this as i could be wrong
