areo wipers - procta - 03-10-2013
where do you boys get these from?
Re: areo wipers - WiNgNuTz - 03-10-2013
Got mine from my local motor factors, mainly as some pikey little scrote pinched my original pair. Otherwise, eBay.
RE: areo wipers - cwspellowe - 03-10-2013
They were selling for about £5 delivered for a set a while back on eBay
RE: areo wipers - Toms306 - 03-10-2013
I usually get proper Aerotwins from ECP when they have a sale on. Never had to replace a set of them. Got a cheap set from Tesco (iirc) and they barely lasted 2 months.
RE: areo wipers - Frosty - 03-10-2013
As said like 5 quid off eBay. That's where I get mine from
RE: areo wipers - Curt - 03-10-2013
Am I the only one who thinks these look really, really out of place on older cars? I don't like them in general but can't stand them on cars that came with "traditional" blades.
RE: areo wipers - Eeyore - 03-10-2013
are areo wipers better than aero wipers?

I don't think they look out of place. I hate seeing the 'mess' of metal brackets compared to a nice single smooth line of rubber tbh, have replaced them on all the cars I've had...plus they function better and last longer too imo.
Would look daft on a proper classic car though lol.

Agreed to an extent but i use them because they clear the screen better, last longer and work at high speeds. The normal type dont do any of these very well and i used to use genuine ones until i started using aerotwins.
RE: areo wipers - THE_Liam - 04-10-2013
I got a pair of Valeo ones on Halfords Trade for £7
RE: areo wipers - Grant - 04-10-2013
I'm with tom. I think they look better than the messy original ones.
Beware of the cheap ebay ones, they tend to lift off the screen slightly at the ends at about 80mph, then fail to clear much past 110.
So I'm told anyway.
RE: areo wipers - Slam Wagon - 04-10-2013
None of the ones ive had sit properly on the edge of the screen, passenger side. Does everyone get this? My ebay ones have done a pretty good job so far, could do with some new ones but theyre only a few quid so im happy with them.
RE: areo wipers - WiNgNuTz - 04-10-2013
Yeah, mine don't sit right at the edge on the passenger side, but i dont sit that side, so it doesnt bother me!
RE: areo wipers - Slam Wagon - 04-10-2013
Never bothered me either just thought if someone knew a set that didnt do it then id get them.

Wipers aren't a show item though.... I'm sure he'll be spending plenty on bodykits and speakers....

I can still see them therefore I consider them shown.
Still, the laminated A4 spec sheet can read
"306 show car
Audi A5 front end conversion inc. wipers and headlight bulbs
No not neons, road legal lights that aren't neons, i'm a classy bird"
Something like that, with added internet dyslexia
RE: areo wipers - Glen306 - 05-10-2013
well all I can say is that the wipers are from an Audi better that saying Peugeot wipers lol and a lot has already been spent
RE: areo wipers - Slam Wagon - 05-10-2013
Theyre not going to be genuine audi ones, probably just crap from halfords or ebay anyway.
