Wiper conversion

[dubbed]

dubbed, there are many other (minor / cosmetic) differences apart from just aero wipers!
Should be in the Mk4 FAQ's...

Are you just rubbing it in! I missed out on remote central locking, the trip computer, and possibly a different centre console...

Hahah! You poor thing, it sounds like you got the seriously raw end of the deal there!

Did you just get the blades/head from supercheap?

Nah mate I actually got them from GAP. Mine were fudged and these were the perfect alternative to neaten things up a bit.

But you did get those nicer seats!!
I'll trade your seats for my aero wipers any day!!

I am quite happy with my Leather Heated Sports Seats (non Recaro)...

Throw in the trip computer and remote central locking and we have a deal hehehe! Actually did I mention the R32 front bar and rear spoiler? That's fair I think

Well, I took Mrk Mickey's advice, and investigated the Bosch wipers further.


Found out that unlike what my VW buddy and all the wreckers i visited said, the aero wipers DO fit the pre 2000 arms. Instead of forking out dough at VW or over the net (my wipers were driving me crazy, i needed them now!!) I went down to supercheap and found the "Bosch aerotwin" (also known as Bosch ICON elsewhere I believe) replacement wiper heads.

Now, $40 later I am a VERY satisfied convert, these new wipers are great!! $80 from VW for just the wiper blades? Not f**king likely mate!!

$80 from VW? Serious?
I bought some aero replacements from Barlow World in G-Wav a while ago (was buying a bettery at the time) and i'm pretty sure they charged me about $22 ea?

Bugger, I normally keep all my car invoices... looks like i was lazy and missed the one for those. Was going to check the part numbers hoping they didn't rip me off with some generic crap. I did specifically ask for aero wiper replacements though...

I Bought the Bosche ones from Supercheep. They were listed for a Mk4 Golf, but fitted my Audi A4 perfectly. I was complaining about $70 for a pair of wipers, but they are so awesome, i`m still smiling. Totally worth the money.

Yeah, that's where I went to get the aero wipers, $40 per side for the blades, $60 each for the wiper arms.
