someone mentioned these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180508565648&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
not sure if they bought them or not but i remember someone else saying they thought those were the one's they bought and how impressed they were with them

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).
