How much u pay for em fella?
their looking super smashing great
am sure, you can adjust the way they sit, so they tuck right under the bonnet?

You can adjust them, but then they sit on the plastic trim panel and bump when they hit the glass! Very annoying!
Also, you can't lift them back when you wash the car!
I had a new windscreen fitted when I first bought the car and that is how the fitter put them back on, I had to move them up!
Wipers cost me about £60 for front and rear from VAG Parts

Apart from looking much nicer than the standard ones, are they any better in terms of performance?

Cool - I'll have a set next spring
especially as I've only had my current set of front and back wipers on for less than 10 weeks! They do look pretty damn nice tbh I have to admit. Cleans up the lines of the car - every time i wash my car at the moment I look at my front wipers and go eeeurgh
and its all your fault

Which arms did he use in the end? One from a lupo and one from the 9N?

I made my own adapters from the standard arms. Was a bit of a fag but I got them done in my workshop!
