OCUK Motors in mod looks chavvy shocker!

Looks decent IMO, breaks the front end up a bit.

Danny I can see you've got the UberAwesomeWicked (sorry, I just love them

) flat wipers on the back window, but not on the windscreen?

i did have them on the front but i really hated the cheap ebay fitment(where they clip on) it was like a big bulge, they also didn't wipe the window properly at speed. the only aero's i'd consider on the front are bosch aero twins but i'd need new arms and it's just not worth it (£80) but yeh i do think aero's are uber cool

Howard · 30 May 2008 at 09:21

I bought some proper Bosch Aerotwins and didn't need new arms :confused:

DannyW · 30 May 2008 at 09:23

really? i looked at some in halfords and it said VW fittment only :O

have you got a pic of yours please? and where did you buy them from??

Howard · 30 May 2008 at 09:33

I bought mine from www.wiperblades.co.uk, they were about £25 for a set of two front ones in the size for my Accord. They're the "retrofit" ones which means Bosch (and now other manufacturers too, Auto Express did a test I think) have developed them for other cars, while I expect Halfords stock the OEM VW ones only.

From when I fitted them to my car last year (they're lasting well, conventional ones would be knackered after a year or so :eek:

)

And for good measure, my awesome interior LEDs

DannyW · 30 May 2008 at 09:49

they look well nice mate, i also have LED lit interior and footwell LEDs aswell

EDIT: Ordered some now

Howard · 30 May 2008 at 09:55

I'm working on footwell LEDs, just need to find the feed for the others

edit: It wasn't raining in my wiper shot, i just emptied a watering can over it to test them

DannyW · 30 May 2008 at 09:57

WHen you say interior LED's, do you mean LED replacement bulbs? If so, where is a good place to order them from as they sound like a good idea

Howard · 30 May 2008 at 10:40

Yep I mean LED clusters that replace the standard bulbs in the ceiling lights

www.ultraleds.co.uk have a huge range, you'll need to pop out the existing bulbs to find out the type/size.

I got mine from Ebay however, I saw some massive 9-LED ones that looked chunky, ultraleds didn't have any that beefy

DannyW · 1 Jun 2008 at 14:49

got my bosch aero's on now, y0

inside, clip doesn't look too bad really

pc-modd · 1 Jun 2008 at 14:56

Are the aero's any better than std?

Depends on the aerodynamics of the car, mine suck when new, clatter off the screen, they're OK when a little worn.

Kappa · 1 Jun 2008 at 15:29

they came on my Passat, certainly seem to do a better job than old school wipers.

DannyW · 1 Jun 2008 at 15:48

they wipe no differently to my normal bosch wipers i took off, they just look cool and work better at speed ie on the motorway there is a lip on them which pushes them down

Depends what you mean by standard, they're no better than Bosch standard ones IME.

Howard · 1 Jun 2008 at 16:00

I find them much better especially at speed, than standard ones. They last longer too. And look nicer

Good work Daniel.

DannyW · 1 Jun 2008 at 16:01

ayyyyyye thanks for that link howard

i've got some interior LED's coming tomorrow aswell
