Just go OEM. Loads of people on here have had problems with aftermarket blades not clearning the screen properly.
The guys at Opie Oils are advertising a flat Trico blade - I've ordered them but can't remember the price (£20-25 at a guess). They've not yet arrived but I'll report back. I have bought 3rd party off eBay for several cars and no problems to date. For example I have a pair of these on at the mo.: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=260208468961

Hmm...
Many good points but how much are OEM ones?
If they're a lot dearer than the ones steveg recommended, then might just go for the eBay ones...If they do the job, then i dont see how you can go wrong.
But if its just a few quids, then I'll go Audi and grab some!
dolface i was after flat aero ones
Cheers Guys

They are about £30.00 for an OEM set.

and they wouldn't even wipe your own ***!
we (all!) need to use the 'quote' function so we know what reply is to. If VAGparts are £20 some plus VAT that's £25 or so if they are originals that's a good deal but still nearly twice my 3rd party price!
And I guess it's wear (salt, twigs, leaves, grit) that kill 'em so whatever - twice the price probably doesn't equal twice the life

Did you have OEMs before you went to the 3rd party ones...
if so, were there any disadvantages in the 3rd party ones?
Cheers
None I can see. Replaced factory ones (January delivery) in September - they were getting a bit streaky. So they did 8 months, the new 3rd party ones have done three. Guess I'll tell you in May!!
Me again! Mid February and the cheapos are beginning to go streaky. Mind you they have had some use (and ice!) these last 6 weeks!
I thought I'd read that VAGParts had gone bust. Certainly their normal website does not seem to be available.
Personally I would always go for OEM parts if possible. Where is the logic of buying a reasonably expensive car and going for cheap add-ons.

I heard they're under a new name now but not 100% on that.
OEMs arent really all that thats why i was asking about.
The Bosch Aerotwins sound good and had Bosch for 2 years on the TT and they're as good as new..They're about the same price as OEMs :S
Might have to try a set - hopefully this months
