Yeah same thing for me really. Hard to tell if you will like them from a photo.

Whats so good about the flat wipers anyway? loads of people on here seem to have them- i'd never have even considered buying them if i wasn't a member on here :S

A lot of people (including myself) think they improve the look of the car. All personal preference though. I have flat wipers on the front and back - apart from anything else I they make the car look more up to date as loads of cars now come with them as standard. They also give a sporty appearance and appear to clear the windows better, though this could be psychological!

I got my rear one off ebay - it said in the listing that it fit the Fiesta ST (though originally off a Renault I think). I was ripped off slightly for my front ones - got official Ford ones from Team Torquesteer but they are quality

See 'My ST Modifications' for a pic - gives you some idea of the look...

they stick to the window better than the standard ones therefore clear the window better

the shape of them means that when the wind hits them they are forced onto the screen and not lifted up like the old style ones

Yeah i see what you mean now, they look pretty cool
Love your ST Lee- i've been trying to find pics of certain things (like painted calipers to compare with the standard ST and see which i prefer). Same again with painting the alloys.

Have you ever considering lowering yours? I'm thinking about it but not sure if its worth it, plus i'm worried it will cause damage to the car (as i frequently carry lots of musical equipment) :S

Yeah definitely mate - was going to be my next mod but not sure whether to go for more power. It does improve the look a lot though. I was a bit concerned with speed bumps at my work but think if I don't go too low it should be ok. Plenty of people on here have lowered theirs - I'm sure if you put a thread up about it you can get advice on how low you can/should go

Unfortunately I'm not as technically minded as some on here!

front ones do wipe far better than standard and last a lot longer.

I got mine from: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Smooth-Rear-Wiper-...=item5ada192f9e

Someone on here gave me the link. Thing is, the picture doesn't show it on a Fiesta, but the one they sold me fits well, as per my pic(s).

Cheers bud, probably order some wipers tomorrow

Yeah i did think of doing that but i'm sure its been spoken about before and im unlikely to do it for a little while yet anyway. Are you getting Eibach's? And do you happen to know what the least you can lower it is? I dont want it to be scraping along the floor like some stupid chav!! I actually use my car as a car lol

I have flat front wipers and a smooth rear wiper on my Fiesta. See My Thread...
I like the look of them better than the originals and they clean the screen better too. As the Ebay seller selling the loose rear wiper didnt send to NL I went to my local Opel dealer and bought the one for the Astra H 5dr.

do you have the link for those front wipers mate?
nice car

Is there any difference between flat/ smooth or aero blades? or are they just names for the same thing? The best looking one's i've seen are from the TT website but £40 just for the front 2 is a little pricey i think!

Cheers!

I got my front wipers from a local shop here in NL. Brand is SWF, Audi, BMW and Merc use them as standard so they were a bit pricey (about the same as the 40 quid you mentioned), but they are good quality and should last ages.

Flat wipers and aero wipers are the same I think. My rear wiper is not a 'flat' wiper, rather just a normal, smoother one that you see on newer cars I guess.
Other people may be able to explain better but here is a pic that explains the difference between normal wipers and flat ones.
Wipers
The flat ones should wipe the water away better.

I prefer the look of the smooth wiper for the rear rather than a flat/aero one so I went for that.

If you can afford the front ones too I would get them - guess it is quite pricey but they are a decent piece of kit in my opinion.

Yep - those of the ones. Torquesteer saw me coming.

I didn't learn about FordPartsUk until recently when I needed some new wheel centres. Forgot to mention them

Yeah they are really good. obviously you have vat and delivery on top but still looking at a few quid less than the local ford garage and about a tenner less than TT

Yeah I know what you mean. Might go for that ebay package £30 for all 3- waiting for the guy to email me back to see if they're the ford one's with the wear indicator. The back one looks identical to the one Lee had

i'm quite sure those are not original ford ones but replicas that match. i'm quite skeptical on the back one tbh. seems like the one lee has, has got a little extra bit at the tip ?
here's a better view. guy says these are the same.

Literally just need a spanner. Unclip the back of the wiper, undo the nut, unclip the new one put it on and tighten the nut. Took about 30 seconds

I think i'll be going after this package after all http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180508565648&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Seems like the rear wiper isn't that different from the one you got, i need the front ones as well and that's the best price for everything altogether including shipping to Malta...
