Guest Wac Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 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. Quote
paul.h Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Flat ones look nice but cost around £40 to 50 for 2. I have thought about doing the reverse of what you have done. Quote
Guest Wac Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Wipers are cheap from internet, got mine for approx £20, champions. Quote

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. Quote
paul.h Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 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. Quote

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

JM53 BEL Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 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 Quote
