Anyone's wiper blade snapped off. Rains for the first time in weeks today and it just snapped need to replace it. Are Bosch still the go to brand?

Monkeys involved?  :shocked:

That would make it easier. Just snapped right off. Need to buy a set for a car that is going back end of next month. O well.
I think the Bosch Aerotwin's are still the best. You could put something cheaper on if just for a month though I'm sure, would still be better for the next owner than OEM!

Flicked a duster around the inside and tried out the ironically worded WoWo hanger.  :laugh:

The blue looks good against the LSG Ian.
My nephew arrived in his recently acquired LSG TDI company car on Saturday to drop off my son's birthday card. The colour has grown on me massively since 2013 when I lamented the passing of Steel/United Grey.

Cheers dude, yea I just seem to like the colour more every week, it weird as it gets more compliments than the Red one ever did :undecided: gutted I missed out on the Prets but hey I don't really need them :wink:

Looking forward to getting the side ones fitted :smiley:

I only added the little R's to the sides as I wasn't keen on the blade 'swooshes' once they were on, but each to their own I know :wink:

Gave the exterior a quick wash.  Only washed a week ago but covered in sand from last week's rain.  And as the inside was all cleaned a couple days ago, couldn't neglect the outside.

Before…








After…




Bit of water beading during the rinse phase…
