When you say "smooth wipers" are you refering to the actual wiper arms or the blades? If it's the later then flat aero type blades are readily available from loads of places. These look loads better in my opinion.
Bosch make decent ones for starters ( ive had mine for a while now without issues)

Mk4 style flat wiper blades are a nice upgrade.

i'd guess hes referring to the arms as the car in his sig has aero wipers. wasnt there rumours of some bmw front wipers fitting or something

I thought that was for the rear wiper only?
