Nice little mod for mk1

 

Got a mk1 and wanted flat blades but after market ones stick out too much. Got a set of mk2 arms from the dealer for £16+vat each and fitted some champion side pin wipers looks so much better.

Wac, shame you didn't post befor you did this because i have done the reverse and gone back to the normal blades and arms we could have done a straight swap.

Wac, if you remember, could you let us know how the Champions perform after they are a few months old. Over the years I have found that Valeo blades tend to last the longest whilst still performing well when compared to such as Bosch, Halfords and Champion but this may have changed now.

Been using champion flat blades for years and perform very good. Do sometimes go noisy but nothing a good clean sorts out.

Hi Mate,

 

I have the Mk2 version and I buy my replacement blades from Fleabay, there's a place in Cornwall that do gen Citroen parts and the side mounted wipers cost me under a tenner.............a pair. Halfrauds wanted £76....

You should try the "Michelin hybrid blades" i got them on my c5 current shape as they came with flat blades,

 

Michelin Hybrid Blade looks and is flexible like a flat blade but has the standard blade underneath a flexible rubber cover, so you get a good clean wipe across the class. I noticed that sometimes you dont get a perfect wipe from a flat blade
