I've bought some cheapies offa ebay for £15 they are a very good blade but without a full wiper/arm conversion they look a lil odd on the mk3.

You can get them from VW and there about the same as non genuine ones, i paid £16.44 for a pair and there great with wear indicators telling you when they need replacing, the part number for a mk3 is: 1J2 998 002
Hope this helps
