I've just bought a set from Halfords (there own brand), £19.50 i think it was for a pack of 2 front wipers, the bloke working there was more than helpful and found them straight away

Apparently they don't do the back wiper he told me, all they had was a length or wiper that you cut to size!!

Make sure you get the aero type, the one's without the frame bit on them
56 GTI, 18" Monza's, Ipod Prep, Winter Pack, 5 Door, Diamond Black

Was the dealer price extortionate?

I did the same, i think fronts were only £11 each and back approx £9 which makes them a pretty reasonable deal i think, Halfords wipers always seem to last a lot less time in my experience
