Bought these for my 07 plate gti - just over £20 delivered .... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=110381555390

Best check with him which ones you need for earlier models as the fitting changed at some point.

And yes, the new "bendy rubbers" ones are far superior to the old fashioned blade type.

Away in the evil parts of SE Asia, nothing bad happened.
Came back to Manchester airport (on airport parking) and my front wipers were missing.
Never happened with my Jag.

I have ordered some - bit disturbed that they asked for my full registration number to ensure a match, but they seem to be fairly reputable....
