Aero wipers

SPEEDYDEVIL · 05-10-2006, 00:01

Just fitted a set of genuine vw aero wiper blades and arms after reading all the reviews,have to agree that they are a vast improvement over the orginals.Purchased them off a site called VW SPEED.COM for £65 including vat and p/p. Found them to be very helpful even though the guy who answered the phone did not know that a mark 4 golf arms and blades were the same as a oct vrs 1.

and for anyone else who is interested there is a group buy in progress......

I might approach vwspeed.com for a price as well, as vagparts.com have not got back to me yet....

This may sound like a strange question, but as this is a modification / upgrade, do you need to declare it to your insurance company??

I had not even considered it, but as it is not a performance upgrade, or greatly affects the look, and does not really increase the value, then no....

Sorry if this is a stupid question but is vwspeed.com the correct web address? It doesn't work for me.

mbames · 06-10-2006, 19:38

It did not work for me either... so I dunno!!

.... and stil waiting to vagparts to get back to me - I'll try and call them on Monday.

Welcome to VW Speed.co.uk

VRSPhil · 06-10-2006, 19:46

LOL the .com confused me. Thanks for that

mbames · 06-10-2006, 19:49

I have emailed and asked to see if they are prepared to supply the group buy for aero wipers....

Lummox · 06-10-2006, 19:50

IIRC I got the lot from a VW dealer for £65 all in for a customer.

jaymd · 06-10-2006, 19:54

These is a group buy on mk-ivs.net for £46 + p&p at the mo.

cheezemonkhai · 06-10-2006, 23:29

Hmm who are they using, we could try and get in on the GB

Saying that doesn't affect me since i took the plunge long ago. Well worth it even at full price.

sorry about the mistake with the email address to many beers late at night

I would make the point that this appears to be a private individual trading as a company rather than a company.

Technically breaking the nominet rule,but tbh I can understand why.
