Ive not yet warmed to aero wipers on older cars (particularly mk2's)... not part of the rustic asthetic!

So I have no useful info  :embarassed:  Sorry

For me I'd say normal Bosch wipers with a spoiler on the drivers side for the OEM look.

Personally I don't like flippy floppy aero ones on old cars. My Passat has them from the factory and they are great, but I'd never fit them on my Mk2.

Yeah the floppy aero wipers look odd on a mk2. Bog standard wipers FTW!

I'd rather my car look a litte 'odd' to purists and be able to see where I'm going when it's chucking it down ... get aero wipers, they are much better than standard (and before anyone says it, no my old wipers were not knackered, just changed them because I prefer the modern look of the aero ones)

I don't care how much better the aero ones are.  They make old cars look spazzy.

If a G2 was my daily I might consider them, but on a toy?  No wai!

Like putting uPVC double-glazing into a listed building.
