order them from your local dealer mate, they were not done as a kit form other than ones put together by whoever was selling them.

 

All the part numbers are correct in both the links too.

ive priced the arms £81 a pair,do i need to order new nut covers or will mine fit

[Dude VR6 0]

Your nut covers will fit, but depends on how you want it to look, just buy new when you get your arms.

Do the non GTi Lupo wipers work? I'm just not keen on the aero wiper look on the Corrado

[carrots 1]

ive not thought of that,could work out cheaper

I run the standard wipers on my car with plenty of rainx and never have an issue now. Always used to think these were essential but I not so sure anymore.

What blades are you using Coullstar?

[carrots 1]

my ns blade dont hardly touch the screen and ive got aero flat blades

[nlau1 0]

My problem is the drivers side blade, theres a huge patch in the middle of the screen that it isn't touching at all

[carrots 1]

same as mine mate,thats why i want the lupo arms.its just the cost :(

I agree, £80 for two pieces of metal is mental though, and I'm not keen on Rain-X. What blades are you currently using carrots?

[carrots 1]

ive got ebay flat blades.not keen on rain-x,i use turtle wax extra gloss on side and rear windows

[carrots 1]

Indeed, its awsome stuff if used correctly and now they do a glass cleaner that tops up the layer on your windscreen for when you've washed the car and thats good too, plus add the stuff they do to the washer bottle and you cant fail. :wave: :grin:

I still haven't tried it yet. When 1st applying, have u really gotta give the windscreen a good proper cleaning, like seriously eliminating all dirt/residue? What would u use for that?

Use a clay bar if you have one and then give the screen a good polish with Auto Glym window polish NOT the glass cleaner this will then leave a good base for the rain x to adhere to, you will probably need to use several coats of rain x over a couple of weeks as it soaks into the glass and the more you use it the better it gets.

 

Using their glass cleaner helps a huge amount too and i've just started using the screenwash they've brought out :wink:
