Yah, going to stick with them but if I can get the black ends cheap enough I might grab them for the hell of it too :)
I know of some black tips going, if I don't buy them I'll pass the details onto you. :thumbs:

Aero wipers fitted today. Not sure what all the fuss is about but as long as they work better is the key thing :)

Yeah, I bought them on a whim, but I actually like the old wipers just fine. Never had a problem with them.

They appear to now all come with LED indicators and the very first thing I noticed was that they weren't awfully bright at all in daylight. I think the brake lights will be ok, esspecially with thee top one there too but worth noting... In the darkness they are very bright so no worries there at least.
What was the advice young man?
Sorry, forgot to reply to this. Sure he won't mind me pasting it in here, it was from a chap on here called WAFWOTTBI
Morning,don't know if youve already gone down the led route,ive got dectane rear light clusters on mine,the side lights and brake are led,indicator and reverse are bulb,which i find work very well and are easy to see,Scooby tc who used to have a 6 and lived near me,had dectane rears,but the indicator was also led,when following him in daylight,espeacially bright sunlight,pretty difficult to see,so there are various combinations of led/bulb from dectane...hope this helps.WAFFY. :blackrs4:
Going by Dectane's site, all of their Avant rear clusters are full LED except for the Reverse bulbs now.

Right, just adding this to the 'knowledge base' so that people searching for Aero Wipers in future can get get another idea of how they look. Not overly happy with where the drivers side one is sitting but that is just be being sad I think:

Yeah the driver's side isn't right. It needs ot be snug in the reservation in the passenger side wiper.

Silly site crashed my reply :(. I did think of that but when down there it doesn't sweep the same amount as the old wiper (basically, in line with the driver's A pillar). If I get a chance I will go play but I have done these up properly man tight! :D

Odd. You can just about make out the sweep on mine. Parallel to the A-pillar.

Ok, dropped the driver's one by about a inch so that at least look parallel in the centre, somewhere between my pic and yours.

Thanks. It's the main reason I wax the car. Once waxed I wait for it to rain.

Recommend this product, too:
