Title: Aero wiper setup
Post by: Lewisf1988-DUB on 09 April 2010, 10:15

Hi guys, just had new windscreen fitted today after my accident with the rear view, nd the guy fitting it said to get new wipers, so I thought I'd upgrade to an aero blade setup. Any one got and advice on good brands, prices and what I'll need? I.e. New arms or what....

Cheers

yeah just get the retro fit bosch ones. Much easier than changing arms etc. Mine work a treat.

i prefer my PIAA silicon jobbies, they are the muts nuts, think they might do aero style now aswell, they are expensive but well worth the money
