Just bought a fitted these - absolutely night and day from the OEM wipers. Money well spent so i'd deffo recommend them.

have looked at the group buy and will prob end up doing that, however if you can use regular lupo wipers then ive sourced some from a local breakers and they are very cheap...

It's any Lupo using the Aero Style wipers (early ones didn't)

 

Late MK1 TT wipers are also worth a look altho more expensive they work even better

Never hear about the TT wiper before, do they look any different to the lupo ones?

we used the lower spec model Lupo wipers (non-aero ones) and bought aftermarket aero blades

 

works perfectly!!

 

and a hell of a lot cheaper than the Lupo GTI wiper route! (all in cost us about £20)

 

i did use the Lupo pair though so is difficult to change the passenger blade

 

if you can get 2 drivers one it would work at lot better

 

tbh even if you only fitted the Lupo arms and standard blades it would make a huge improvement!!
