   Good evening peeps! My old wipers on my VTR are looking extremely old and flakey... so i want some new one's that are decent and wipe the screen smoothly, Anyone have any links to a site where i can get these? ...... I Know halfords do them? but are they a pile of wank? or? ... they look pretty good but do they fit etc etc,
   
   ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!
   
   Moloney,

   eBay do aero blades, think the shops called redline or something. They're pretty good Nd cheap too.

    So shall i get 18'' or 20? , 20 will be better as it will catch more and clean away more yes?
