Front Wiper Options???

[D_O_U_G_I_E]

l've searched page after page up to now looking for some views and advice on what wiper conversions people have done to replace their fronts on Leon's, but l keep coming up empty handed!

l've changed my rear one for a Fabia which has tidyed up the back window and now l wana do the same with the front one's.......but l've no idea which ones will fit!?

Any help, personal views or pictures of what people have done/seen would be greatfully received!

or I think Seat do Retro Fit Aero blades now, which fit directly to your existing wiper arms

Cool, cheers for that! l don't supose you've got any close up photos you could post, have you?

Also, on a different note.......did you buy the black grill badge, or spray it yourself? Looks well nice!

The centre grill is held in with 4 clips; take this out; then on the back of the badge there are two plastic pins which need removing (either with a knife or soldering iron). Then the badge just clips out and back in again once painted

if you do the boot one get in touch with nev_lcr - he has done his
i'm not sure about the boot one, but it may get done in the summer if i get bored!

re painting - make sure you leave all the layers to harden properly before putting the badge back in the grill or the grill will scratch the paint

those golf aero ones look alot neater but the previous pic has the same wipers my mate has on his A3 didnt think they look that big though. i dont know if u have said already sorry if you have but how much are the ones in the second picture?

 

[LEE69]

Brand new around £80 for the arms and blades.
Ebay as a kit ready to buy
They do come up secondhand now and again.
They are of a golf mk4 or a bora or an s3 Audi.

 

[Gezzy]

ok thanks man cant stand how far mine stick out. what you get for cheapys though aye

 

[Trublu07]

Lee are you sure Audi s3 ones will fit?

 

[LEE69]

Yeah, should be the same but i think the passenger wiper needs trimming down still.
