I got some from SERE, David Hawthorne. He sent the wrong ones first as mine are heated and he told me to keep the non-heated ones and pass to A.N.other.
So anyone who wants a set of non-heated fans, I am in Derby and you pay postage if sent. They are free (no money and all that Mallarky), courtesy of the wonderful My David Hawthorne.
I would prefer collection, but....

Mine got delivered last week at work from a lease company, it was a factory order and didn't have mist jets. I fitted these which I got from eBay, not realising they were from China but they seem to be fine..

same ones as i bought and fitted today. seem to be ok. could have done with being able to aim it a bit higher though. very simple to fit these. if there is one thing that really didnt need a guide for to fit its prob these! not sure why people were saying about being hard to remove the pipes as there is a simple clip that pops off which makes taking the pipe off very easy.

I'm up in Sheffield mate and have been looking to do this upgrade. Are they still available? If so I'm happy to pay postage to get them sent up.

Interesting. Or maybe it's an updated part. Torx are better than Allen Keys, which are rarely used now except for legacy bolts

I have just received these fan jets from EBay, they were about £9 and look as well made and strong as the ones that came off. They have a standard slot screw head for adjustment, so that makes things easy. The new fan spray pattern looks like it will be a very worthwhile mod, so for £8 or £9 I am happy with the first upgrade I have made to this car,and of course it has enhanced the trade-in price considerably.

if you're not bothered about waiting for a week or so for delivery i'd say get them from the ebay link further up the page from china. half the price and the same product.

Thats where I got mine from, apart from the cheaper price I have aan hours drive to get to a Seat dealer; half an hour to a VW dealer. My Fan Jets were marked as manufactured PRC (China) however the Jets I took off were from Eastern Europe. Quality looked identical.

I found a set of these on eBay. £7.99 for the pair with free delivery.

They took a while to arrive but they're absolutely spot on. I bought a more expensive set from the UK and they were shocking and went straight back.

Here's the the link. Couldn't recommend them enough.

Cheers for the tip off. Had been meaning to order some. Let's see how long it takes for them to turn up.

Still not used the washers in the new Cupra after almost a month...! Wipers yes but no screenwash.
