Lupo wiper conversion

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I have for sale:

1 x set of Lupo GTI arms (passenger and driver side)

1 x set of vistaPro aero wipers

 

£50 collected bh12 2aa

 

any postage will need to be on top as to be honest its difficult for me to find a box and get to the post office in my work lunch.

A bit if info:

 

This has been discussed many times about what parts are needed for this conversion.

 

It is recommended that you use 2 x Lupo GTI driver arms and a set of aero blades. The reason for using a drivers arm on the passenger side is because if you lift the passenger arm fully it will foul on the bonnet edge. Using a drivers arm avoids this. However they still work exactly the same.

 

when i bought my car the previous owner had already fitted a std set of arms, ie one passenger arm and a drivers arm.

 

I have just replaced the blades for winter with brand new Vistapro aero blades from ECP @ £10.20 each. They were fitted last weekend and haven't seen the road.

 

I have just been able to source 2 drivers arms so naturally i am fitting these as I'm fussy so i have my old set for sale

 

The fact the passenger arm fouls on the bonnet is only an issue if you arent careful when you raise the arm. You can still lift the arm a bit to swap blades etc and has been fine on my car for the last 3 years. I was just lucky and found a spare set of driver arms.

 

ebay has its typical mark up and this conversion is selling for £160. Im led to believe if you buy from the dealers today they no longer sell individual arms and only sell them as a set. However i could be wrong as i havent discussed this myself so please correct me if i am wrong.

 

iirc when i did this mod years ago on my G60 i paid about £120 all in.

 

Ill get some photos uploaded tonight :)
