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.

Here's the one Lee got again http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390206140318&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
