Does anyone know if they'll fit my MK2 gti and if so, what length do I need?

Thanks

Measure the ones currently fitted to your car and order aero ones that length. I got mine off ebay for about 13 quid for the front pair delivered, excellent improvement over the originals.

if you get decent aero's then you won't have problems with them

however... aero upgrades tend to made the arms themselves look very 'sticky uppy' or awkward

i would opt if you can to replace the arm and the wiper so everything is flat

I got mine for about 7 quid or something ridiculous from this place near me
Far better at low speeds but gashed up on the motorway on the way back from ed38  :undecided:
Juddering and all sorts

They should come with a universal fitment that clips on, mine did anyway.

iirc Mine are 450mm long but the standard golf size is 430mm?
Don't quote me on that though!

I bought those exact ones, from that site. Get a discount (check the discount section)

I want to say 18" but just measure the ones you have on just now.

I really couldnt fault them, really good esp for the money.
