Me neither, but the answer is no.

If you want to fit Aero wipers to the Fabia, you need to get a set and then cut and shut them with the Std ones. Andy Ellis has done it, so ask him for any advice.

Sorry for being thick, but what's the difference between 'aero' and normal wipers? Has anyone got pics of each, so I can see?!

aero wipers are aerodynamic so that they do not lift off at speed. These fit on differently to normal wiper blades so you need arms with the correct fitment. If you look on any current VW (apart from some early MK4 golfs and pre facelift Passats) you will see them. they are also on the new Octavia and Superb.

sorry rubbish link.. this is actually a whole kit for the polo though including arms and connections ;

Polo 9N 2002> front aero kit
This is a complete set of front aero wipers for the 9N Polo 2002 onwards Kit includes: Two aero wiper arms, aero wiper blades, wiper arm nuts and nut covers. For right hand drive Polo's.

All other parts from Ibiza and Polo's tend to fit the fabia???

the body work and therefore windscreens are different though. I've looked myself. The problem is on the drivers side where the wiper arm is a different shape to the left and one is shorter than the aero arms as well.
