I noticed in pictures that the wiper blades can look too close together, and this is most people with the Lupo blades

Do www.wiperblades.co.uk not ship to Dublin?

Would probably be easier to just buy some direct fit Aero wipers for it.

the wiper arms with these new blades look nasty! looks like someone has bent them!

I'm more for the Vag parts ones as its my car on the website.

I dont like the look of those retrofit blades at all, worse than standard I think. The kinks and the height of arm puts me off. I'm going to buy a Lupo GTI arm and wiper for the passenger side and bodge something together for the driver's side.

J-GTI: I'm driving a 1.0, for the moment!

get two passanger side arms and blades, they need a few tweeks to get right but look much nicer!

It seems they only ship to the UK.
I got mine from ebay for Â£29.49 delivered, only took two days to get it.

I suppose Lupo arms look nicer, but they are twice as expensive and a hassle to fit too.

just ordered myself a set!!!

when you need to replace the wipers can you just replace the rubbers or is it another 26 quid shell out?

Post by **alexperkins** » Sat Mar 10, 2007 10:35 pm

I beleive it is just the rubbers. I just bought a set myself, and the results are much better - Quieter, smoother, and they definately clear the screen more effectively.

Just ashame my washer fluid keeps drying a clearish white

So I have to clean the windscreen with spray when I get home from work sometimes.

Cheers,

Alex

Ordered the Bosch wipers in the end. Fantastic service from wiperblades.co.uk ordered Wednesday lunchtime and they arrived Thursday morning. Less noise and clear the windscreen better than before. A top purchase!

Good choice! I'm glad your happy with the results

ModifiedMadness · Post by **ModifiedMadness** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 8:39 pm

I ordered some for myself today as my ones now have the yellow dot fully showing and aren't doing the greatest job.

Amazing service from WiperBlades.co.uk, got the Order Confirmation e-mail at 16:19, Order Processing e-mail at 16:25 and an Order Despatched e-mail at 16:35.

I'll definately use them again and recommend them to anyone who asks.
